For almost twenty years the UK professional indemnity insurance market has been a \u2018soft\u2019 or buyer\u2019s market, with many insurers competing to offer architects comprehensive policies at very low premiums.<\/p>\n
However, for the first time since 2001, following years of unprofitability for insurers, PI insurance premiums are increasing whilst cover for architects is reducing. Add to this a series of adverse events, including the Grenfell Tower disaster in 2017, and it\u2019s not difficult to see why insurers have decided to reduce their exposure to PI claims, or leave the marketplace altogether.<\/p>\n
This development is, of course, unwelcome, especially for architects who will end up paying more for their PI insurance \u2013 or worse, find it harder to secure PI cover.<\/p>\n
