❌ Common Misconceptions About Surveyor Insurance

“I only need Public Liability.”

👉 Public Liability won’t protect you from errors in professional advice or measurements. You need Professional Indemnity.

“Small surveying jobs don’t need insurance.”

👉 Even small jobs can result in substantial claims if boundary errors impact property values or future construction.

“I can’t get cover for complex, multi-site projects.”

👉 We can source specialist insurers who cater for large and complex surveying projects.

“Surveyors don’t face cyber risks.”

👉 Digital surveying tools, cloud storage, and electronic submissions create increasing exposure to cyber threats.
