ABOUT THE EVENT

Proper Talk Manchester 23

Our inaugural Proper Talk was held at the famous Manchester Midland Hotel, which first opened in 1903 and today is Grade II listed and deservedly so.

Over the years, the Midland has hosted royalty, politicians, actors and rock stars. And on 28 September 2023, it hosted our esteemed panellists below, expertly moderated by JackSeton, head of Flatguard (part of Bridge Insurance), one of our co founders.

To attend a future Proper Talk and take part in robust property discussions first hand, drop a line to Jonathan Channing on jonathan@jcpropertyconsultancy.com and we’ll see you soon!

An early arrival time of 8am was assisted by a full breakfast spread, followed by an hour and a half of lively buildings insurance debate, tackling:

The importance of RCAs and not falling into the ‘desktop trap’
Fair value and what the FCA means by it
The threat of insurance commission banning
Why the Department of Levelling up, Housing and Communities is fighting the leaseholders’ corner
Investigations into bad actors in the sector
Overinsurance and how it is often overlooked (and sometimes punished)
Managing agent insurance regulation
And much more.
