Description

In this episode of Commercial Property Investing Explained, Steve Palise sits down with someone very close to home: his fiancée and former Lloyd’s of London insurance broker, Lisa Hiscock. Together, they unpack the real-life risks that can derail your commercial property investment… and how smart insurance strategies can protect your portfolio from the unexpected.


This episode covers:

  • Why insurance isn’t just a formality, it’s your last line of defence
  • The difference between property insurance, fit-out cover, liability, and loss of rent
  • Real examples of claims and disasters that crushed unprepared landlords
  • What most investors get wrong about body corporate insurance
  • Why flood cover can destroy your cash flow if you don’t read the fine print
  • High-risk tenant red flags (including tattoo parlours, laundromats, and tobacconists)
  • How to save on premiums through smarter risk management
  • Understanding reinsurance, public liability, excesses, and what brokers actually do
  • A surprising story about terrorism insurance, warehouse fires… and their love story
