    Residential & Commercial

    At Taurus Risk, we specialise in arranging mixed use building insurance policies designed for properties combining residential and commercial use. We work closely with specialist insurers familiar with both commercial and residential risks to create insurance solutions for mixed commercial and residential buildings, ensuring no gaps in coverage.

    We ensure that policy wording and coverage accurately reflect the specific, active use of the entire building to prevent coverage gaps and denied claims. Whether you own a single mixed-use property or a portfolio of sites, we can arrange dependable protection at competitive premiums.

    Why It Matters

    Why Specialist Cover Is Essential

    Mixed-use buildings often combine homes, shops, offices, and other spaces under one roof. Standard residential or commercial policies rarely cover both elements adequately, leaving dangerous gaps in protection.

    Residential Risks

    Residential units require different cover from commercial premises, including tenant liability and alternative accommodation provisions.

    Commercial Risks

    Ground floor retail, offices, or restaurants introduce unique exposures including public liability and business interruption.

    Shared Areas

    Communal stairwells, hallways, and shared facilities need dedicated cover that standard policies often overlook.

    Clear and Transparent Policy Wording

    Taurus Risk ensures all unique and various risks are covered, including natural disasters such as flooding, storms, and subsidence. Our policies can be amended as tenants change, commercial uses vary, or additional properties are acquired.

    I found Taurus online last year and this is my second year I am using Taurus for my Insurance renewal. Chris and Billy have both been very good to me and our relationship is not just about me asking for a insurance policy but we have a general chat which makes a huge difference when deciding should I shop around or actually Taurus take care of me so why should I have to look elsewhere. The pricing is competitive and I receive good advice. I am happy I have found an excellent organisation

    Had a very competitive quote from Chris Foster - multi property, including rent cover. Gone ahead with the policy, and hope the underwriters will be a good solution, should anything occur.
