Check the following things before you send off your claim:

you’re within the time limits for making a claim
you’re covered for what you’re claiming for
how much the excess is. The excess is the amount of money that your insurer will take off the claim. It may not be worth making a claim if the amount you’re claiming for is less than this
the small print. Make sure there’s nothing in the terms and conditions that prevents you from claiming
whether it’s a new for old policy. If it isn’t, the amount you get for items you’re claiming for will be less than the cost of replacing them. This is because the insurer takes off money for wear and tear.

City Barrister is available to speak to about this process and any other commercial
problems you may have to address.

Dav and the team did fantastic work for me when an escape of water happened in an empty rental property. The damage was horrendous and very overwhelming.From the outset Dav was reassuring and helpful and consulted at every stage.As expected the insurance company used a loss adjustor who did his best to chip away and invalidate the claim, this is where Dav came into his own in dealing with this and putting to bed the loss adjustors queries and issues. Dav then made sure that the property was returned in excellent shape and with the insurance company paying out everything they should of done. Without Dav Id have been many thousands of pounds worse off and would have had a massive head ache to deal with. I cant recommend this company enough I really cant!

Recently I had the call that all landlords dread - my house had been well and truly trashed! Bricks through windows, external doors damaged and carpeting extremely soiled by dogs. I was pointed in the direction of Imperial Claims Consultants. Within an hour of me being informed of the damage the representative from Imperial Claims Consultants had called me. He was patient and understanding and reassured me of the services that they would undertake on my behalf. I was assured I would have nothing to pay, not even the insurance excess. I was able to contact him at any time, including evenings and weekends. Every call/email was responded to on the same day. I was kept informed of every detail promptly and efficiently. The repair work was arranged and overseen by Imperial Claims Consultants.... I didn't have to deal with the insurance company directly, only to give permission for the loss assessors to work on my behalf. The whole stress of the situation was born by Imperial Claims Consultants until all the necessary repairs were completed. I recommend anyone to use this service, don't rely on the letting agents as often they don't have the expertise to deal with these problems. Call Imperial Claims Consultants and receive the best possible advice and supportread more

After a burst pipe flood making my house uninhabitable and 4 months getting nowhere with my insurance company's loss adjuster, Imperial Claims Consultants were recommended to me by a property contact. Since then all the work of negotiating the claim and managing the remedial works has been handled by them and paid in full by my insurer. Dav Kumar's regular updates on progress have been brilliant and I'm now back in a house as good as new.

Imperial Claims Consultants assisted us with our insurance claim. We had an arson attack at our buy to let property. Our lovely property was truly badly damaged as a result of the fire and all the smoke damage. It was obviously a very concerning issue for us as a family and deeply stressful. From start to finish the service that was provided by Dav and his team was exceptional. If you ever rang them, they would pick up regardless of what time or day it was. We are very grateful for the help they gave us. We are extremely pleased with the settlement value. As landlords, homeowners and business owners we would recommend Imperial Claims Consultants to anyone and we would most certainly use them again if the need arose.

I have used Imperial Claims Consultants service in the last few months and the claim has just been very successfully concluded. I am a landlord and live outside the UK.My property had been maliciously broken into and ransacked which resulted in a huge amount of damage. To further add to this nightmare the letting agents I had been using were not engaging!I thought OK, it can’t get any worse than this, so I will simply file an insurance claim (my first for a property) and begin to go forwards. The very first email and information sent concerning the claim was swiftly dealt with by my insurance company. However, from that point onward it became extremely torturous, as the insurance company appoints a loss adjuster (think private investigator!), and his job was clearly to act entirely... for the insurance company, to undermine and try to refute any claim! If I had not appointed Imperial Claims Consultants at that time I very much doubt that I would have been successful. The seemingly endless amount of questions, posed to me by the loss adjuster, as well as tons of evidence, copies of invoices & receipts, photographs, tenancy documents and so forth required, is an absolute minefield to try to do on your own. Imperial Claims Consultants expert knowledge and guidance together with their in-depth understanding of the insurance policy’s nuances and fine print, along with a considerable amount of time, lead me to that successful outcome.The truly wonderful thing in all this? It didn’t cost me anything and Imperial Claim Consultants dealt with everything, seamlessly. You can imagine the constant thoughts and worry I had before involving Imperial Claim Consultants; was I covered by the policy? And if the insurers didn’t cover my loss how would I have been able to make good the extensive damage and repairs needed, and all this from outside the UK!I truly hope in relating this experience it will help others avoid the numerous pitfalls and great anxiety associated with a typical claim. My advice and sincere recommendation is to NOT go it alone but to use Imperial Claims Consultants; you need look no further as they are exemplary loss assessors for your insurance claim.read more

Imperial Claims Consultants Ltd provide an invaluable service and expertise to anyone who suffers any property related insurance claim. They work for you and not your insurance company, ensuring your claim is processed as quickly as possible and you claim for everything required.They managed an insurance claim for my family which took away the stress of dealing with paperwork and administration. They liaised with me every step of the way and once a settlement figure was offered it was discussed with me for my agreement. This figure was much greater than I had initially anticipated.Once the funds had been issued by my insurance company, Imperial Claims carried out all works required in no time at all. Their trades persons were polite and their workmanship was superb and my... property was home again in no time. A huge plus was that this service cost me absolutely nothing, Imperial Claims even paid my insurance excess of £175! It sounded too good to be true initially but their service didn't cost me a penny.I would not hesitate to recommend Imperial Claims Consultants for anyone who has the unfortunate experience of needing to make any kind of property or building insurance claim.. Not sure where I would be without their wonderful help.read more
