Specialist underwriting for development risk.

Rights of light risk can materially affect the viability, timing and economics of a development. Claims by neighbouring owners may lead to compensation, delay, redesign, reduced massing, loss in value or, in exceptional cases, injunctive relief.

From conventional placements to complex, multi-phase schemes, MX Underwriting provides specialist underwriting backed by commercial judgement and bespoke policy wordings. Whether you're placing a straightforward Rights of Light risk or a scheme where neighbour engagement is central to delivery, our underwriters will work with you to find the right solution.

Why MX Underwriting Europe?

Specialist expertise for sector-specific risks.

    • Specialist underwriting expertise
      With in-house decision-makers, we can develop tailored solutions to meet the specific needs of each risk.
    • Clear limits of indemnity upfront
      Published limits of indemnity provide clarity before submission.
    • Risk-specific pricing

      Pricing is assessed on its own merits, drawing on our underwriting expertise and sector experience.

    • A collaborative claims approach
      Where insurer claims conditions allow; clients can contribute to settlement discussions and remain informed throughout the claim’s strategy process.

Agreed Conduct

In most rights of light policies, engagement with a potential claimant in relation to an insured risk may prejudice cover. Where appropriate, our Agreed Conduct policy structure can allow carefully managed engagement with neighbouring owners after inception, with the objective of achieving a negotiated settlement whilst maintaining insurance protection, subject to an agreed excess and the policy terms.

This can help align insurance with the insured's wider risk mitigation strategy and commercial objectives, particularly where proactive scheme delivery and neighbour engagement are part of the plan.
