Are last year’s insurance figures still enough?

The cost of rebuilding a property, replacing machinery and recovering after a serious loss continues to change. If your sums insured have simply been carried forward from last year, your business or property could be underinsured.

This matters because an insurer may reduce a claim proportionately—even where the amount claimed is below the overall sum insured.

Our latest article explains underinsurance in straightforward terms, including the risks for:

✅ UK SMEs
✅ Commercial property owners
✅ Residential landlords
✅ Businesses relying on machinery, equipment or stock
✅ Anyone with business interruption or loss-of-rent cover

It follows the underinsurance feature in our Autumn 2026 Covernotes newsletter, through which we regularly provide clients with practical insurance and risk-management advice.

Unsure whether your figures are still adequate? Speak to the team at Munro-Greenhalgh on 01706 824 023.

Underinsurance can reduce an insurance claim when buildings, contents, stock or business interruption figures are too low. Read our guide for UK SMEs and property owners.

Leaving a Property Empty? Make sure it’s still protected!

Whether you’re renovating, waiting for a sale to complete, dealing with probate or simply spending an extended period away, an unoccupied home can face greater risks than you might expect.

Many standard home insurance policies restrict cover once a property has been unoccupied for a set period, potentially leaving you exposed to risks such as theft, vandalism, burst pipes or storm damage.

The good news? Specialist unoccupied home insurance can provide the protection you need, giving you piece of mind while your property is empty!

WE WON!! (Of course we did!)

At the prestigious British Insurance Awards 2026 on Wednesday night, held at The Royal Albert Hall, London, we were hailed as winners of the Small Insurance Broker category (sponsored by Intact Insurance – Intact Assurance)

Hosted by “Chatty Man” Alan Carr, the awards are the UK Insurance Industry’s biggest celebration of innovation and excellence.

Stephen Cadman, Director here at Munro Greenhalgh, upon receiving the award, commented, “In our 100th Year this is just terrific! We have been awarded customer voted accolades previously and they are very important to us, but to be recognised by the Industry, nationally, as the leading small broker is just, well, mind-blowing! This award is a huge testament to our hard working, customer focused staff who are quite simply the best!”

The judges said of Munro Greenhalgh: “They demonstrated, in a consolidating market: independence, long term relationships and exceptional service, giving a powerful competitive advantage.”

Munro Greenhalgh have, over the years (100 to be precise) stuck to their guns: adopting advances in technology when they have helped the customer experience or streamlined processes - but never at the expense of personal customer service.
