Property Insurance Services in Dubai
Marsh Emirates places real-estate-related insurance for property owners, landlords, developers, and contractors operating across the UAE. As a brokerage, the firm structures programmes with local and international underwriters covering buildings and contents, rental income protection, construction risks, and the professional liabilities that property businesses carry. Marsh's global Real Estate and Construction practices feed into the Dubai team, which is positioned for complex, multi-asset and development-stage portfolios rather than single-policy retail buyers.
Coverage Types Available
- Property All Risks: physical damage to buildings and contents from fire, theft, vandalism, storm, flood and other named perils.
- Loss of Rental Income / Business Interruption: protects landlord cash flow when an insured event makes a property untenantable.
- Contractors All Risks (CAR) and Builders Risk: cover for works, materials, plant and equipment during construction, plus third-party injury and property damage on site.
- General and Third-Party Liability: liability arising from property occupation, common areas and operations.
- Professional Indemnity: for real estate agents, property managers and consultants exposed to claims of negligence or breach of professional duty.
- Directors & Officers, Cyber and Terrorism: specialty lines commonly bundled into developer, REIT and property-management programmes.
Best For
Real estate developers, owners' associations, commercial landlords, property management firms, contractors on Dubai construction projects, and high-net-worth individuals with multi-property portfolios. The Marsh model favours clients with enough premium spend or risk complexity to justify a brokered programme over a direct retail policy.
