FlatGuard's Dan Kelly recently wrote an article exploring how Fire Risk Appraisals of External Walls (FRAEWs), assessed under PAS 9980:2022, are playing a key role in insurers’ decisions on cover and pricing. Insurers are increasingly scrutinising FRAEWs as part of their assessment of fire risk, meaning a “low risk” rating doesn’t guarantee favourable terms. It’s important for managing agents to recognise how FRAEWs influence insurers’ willingness and ability to offer cover as part of overall fire safety and risk assessment. If you manage residential blocks, this article sheds light on what FRAEWs mean for your insurance outcomes and highlights the value of working with a broker who specialises in this area.
