WTW's specialized approach to residential real estate insurance
At WTW, we understand the unique and complex risks that residential real estate stakeholders face, whether they are managing high-rise urban luxury apartments or garden-style frame condominiums. The residential real estate industry is characterized by a variety of challenges, including poor service, investment lifecycle issues, claims frequency, reputational harm, and construction risks. Insurers have become more selective, often reducing capacity and increasing policy rates, which can make securing the right coverage a daunting task.
