As the only professional association representing independent residential surveyors, the not-for-profit RPSA has, since its formation in 2010, become best known for creating and setting the highest standards in its' industry sector, as well as tackling challenging issues such as snagging and spray foam insulation. A major element of its success and appeal has been a range of member benefits unrivalled in the industry.
The latest offering gives RPSA members access to specialist professional indemnity broker UKGlobal whose Professional Risks team have worked with RPSA representatives to create a personalised offer for members.
UKGlobal provide insurance solutions for a wide range of traditional and emerging professional businesses. With a wealth of knowledge in Professional Indemnity, Directors & Officers Liability and Cyber and Crime Liability insurance, they can offer a wide range of covers for RPSA members, which could include an insurer discount.
RPSA Chairman says “We are delighted to be working with UKGlobal to extend our services to members. We were impressed with their tailor-made offering, which we believe will offer superior protection and value for our members. High quality products and great service are the basic principles of our business and so working with a like-minded broker is a great opportunity”
