Insurance for property managers
Property managers need their own insurance program alongside the policies they place for WEGs, especially professional liability, cyber, crime, D&O, and business liability.Program fitInsurance for property managers
- Professional liability for pure financial loss from administrative errors, missed deadlines, or incorrect advice.
- Cyber and crime cover for data breaches, payment fraud, fake invoices, social engineering, and employee dishonesty.
- Business liability, D&O, contents, and legal protection depending on company size and structure.
Who this is for
Ingo separates WEG object insurance from the property manager's own business risk, so owners and managers can make cleaner decisions.
Management companies growing portfolios, hiring staff, adding portals, or handling more complex mandates.
Firms that want their own protection separated cleanly from WEG object insurance.
What to watch
WEG insurance decisions need to be understandable for owners while still being precise enough for underwriting, claims, and renewals.
The manager can be liable even when the underlying building policy belongs to the WEG.
Client funds, reserve accounts, bank details, SEPA mandates, and invoice workflows create fraud exposure.
Professional liability, cyber, and crime should be reviewed together because claims often start with the same operational event.
How Ingo reviews it
A clear review turns policy wording, object data, claims history, and owners' meeting decisions into practical options.
Map mandates, portfolio size, employees, client funds, IT systems, and current professional liability limits.
Review regulatory requirements, contract obligations, data protection processes, and payment controls.
Build a manager-side program that complements, but does not confuse, the WEG object policies.

Common questions
Is professional liability required for property managers?
Residential property managers in Germany need professional liability that satisfies regulatory requirements. Limits and wording should still be reviewed against the actual portfolio.
Why separate WEG insurance from manager insurance?
Because the insured party, risk, premium payer, and claim scenario are often different. Clear separation avoids confusion in owner meetings and renewals.
Review WEG insurance before renewal pressure starts.
Compare policy wording, deductibles, exclusions, and object data before the next owners' meeting.
