Alps has moved its Landlord Legal Expense book to AmTrust International, under a full delegated authority agreement.
Alps is a provider of insurance add-on policies, legal expenses, and claims solutions for intermediaries.
Under the agreement, Alps will have a direct binder with AmTrust and will manage claims via its group law firm, Alps Legal.
The business says the move to AmTrust has enabled it to significantly improve policy wordings with value added enhancements based on its own industry benchmarking and broker research.
This includes:
- An extension of the breach of tenancy agreement to include anti-social behaviour
- £100 per day (up to a maximum of £1,000) for court attendance expenses
- A 45-day claim reporting window
- Pro-rata refunds for the cancellation of rent protection policies.
LEGAL EXPENSES
The landlord legal expenses policy provides cover for the whole UK, Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, with an indemnity limit of £50,000.
Michelle O’Reilly, operations director at Alps, said: “Moving our landlords legal expenses book to AmTrust not only gives us more control and oversight over our products, product value, claims, and distribution chain, but it ensures our brokers and policyholders have access to the same tech and service driven experience that our motor customers already enjoy.
“We constantly benchmark ourselves against our competitors as well as the expectations of brokers. Our aim is to deliver the ultimate in fair value and improved outcomes; with the backing of AmTrust we’ve been able to build both a differentiated policy and experience.”
