Property at Aurous
D&F Property is a key line of business for Aurous. Our team is well-known for delivering comprehensive property coverage for a range of occupancies from single locations through to multinational organisations. We are looking to write primary and excess of loss business, often consisting mainly of small limit primaries and buffer layer excess of loss layers within the first 150m – 200m of placements. We pride ourselves on our technical underwriting capabilities, the strength of our relationships with our partner brokers and our commitment to paying valid claims promptly.
We currently write all international territories excluding the Americas. A key focus is lighter commercial business, however we will look at most occupancies. From the beginning of 2021 our territorial reach will include the US.
