Leeds insurance firm rallies to protecr landlords and businesses from damage caused by floods

In the wake of catastrophic flooding that has swept through communities, businesses and landlords are facing unprecedented challenges. Many have been left high and dry, their insurance policies excluding flood damage and leaving them without recourse. However, a new hero has emerged on the scene: Edison Ives Insurance Solutions.

Based in the UK, Edison Ives is taking a bold stand against the tide of destruction. This innovative insurance broker is not just offering standard policies but is partnering with specialist insurers, top-notch flood risk consultants, and cutting-edge flood defense experts to create comprehensive protection packages tailored to the needs of business and property owners nationwide.

Unlike private homeowners who can access the FloodRe scheme, landlords and business owners often find themselves excluded from such coverage. Instead, they are forced to rely on parametric insurance, which many lenders do not accept and which may not provide adequate coverage in the event of a catastrophic loss of premises. Recognizing these gaps, Edison Ives works with mainstream insurers and specialists at Lloyd’s, striving to offer robust insurance solutions even in the most challenging postcodes.

"Traditional insurance often falls short when it comes to flooding," said a spokesperson for Edison Ives. "We knew we had to think outside the box and bring in the best minds and technologies to safeguard our clients. To date, we have yet to find a postcode where we haven't been able to offer cover, and we are constantly working to secure better terms for those worst affected."

Additionally, Edison Ives is collaborating with the Mayor of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority to help landlords and business owners access funding for enhanced flood protection measures. This initiative aims to ensure that businesses can better defend themselves against future flooding events and reduce the financial burden of recovery.

For business and property owners, this collaboration is a game-changer. "It's reassuring to know that someone has our back," said one relieved business owner. "Edison Ives has given us a fighting chance against the elements."

As climate change continues to increase the frequency and severity of flooding, Edison Ives Insurance Solutions stands as a beacon of resilience, ensuring that businesses and landlords are not left stranded when the waters rise. With their cutting-edge solutions and relentless commitment, they are turning the tide in the battle against flood devastation.
