Architects, don’t just auto‑renew your PI.

The market’s shifting, exclusions vary wildly, and better terms are out there if you look.

At LBH Insurance, we make insurers compete for you and not the other way around.

PI insurance isn’t optional, it’s the foundation of professional security for architects.

It protects your business, your reputation, and your ability to keep building safely and confidently.

Architects if you are renewing your PI insurance, take a moment.
The market is shifting, exclusions are tightening, and ARB expectations are higher than ever. Getting this wrong can leave your practice exposed.

At LBH Insurance, we work with architects every day to secure PI cover that actually reflects the risks you face, and not a generic, one‑size‑fits‑all policy.

If you want clarity, confidence and a broker who speaks your language, then speak to our specialist PI team for advice.

Cyber insurance in 2026: The year SMEs face the toughest standards yet

Is your business ready for 2026 Cyber requirements?

Cyber insurance is about to get tougher for small businesses, and 2026 will be the turning point.

With claims up, ransomware rising, and the new Cyber Security & Resilience Bill reshaping expectations, insurers are tightening their standards fast.

What this means for SMEs:
• Basic controls (MFA, patching, backups) are now non‑negotiable
• Premiums will split — strong controls rewarded, weak controls priced out
• More pressure from larger clients to prove cyber hygiene
• Higher risk of fraud, impersonation and supply‑chain breaches
• Losing cyber cover could mean losing contracts

The message is clear:
Cyber insurance in 2026 isn’t just protection, it’s a business survival tool.

Architects are being pushed to become more insurance literate..

RIBA's guidance emphasises that many architects still buy PI on price alone with online buying increasing, which they confirm is risky because many architects are purchasing PI without specialist advice.

RIBA warns this increases the risk of misunderstanding exclusions or buying cover that appears cheap but is inadequate.

Key messages from RIBA’s PI guidance include:

Cheapest is not best

Understand what constitutes a notifiable circumstance

Be aware of contractual liability traps

Maintain constant oversight of design and documentation

At LBH Insurance we provide advice and a bespoke policy designed around your business activities to ensure you are fully protected.
