Commercial property is underwritten around the building and what happens inside it. An office let to a single tenant on a full repairing lease is a very different risk from a car park open to the public, a dental practice full of specialist equipment or a data centre whose cooling has to run without interruption.
For an investor the main concerns are usually the reinstatement value, the rent that stops if the building is damaged and liability to people using it. For an owner-occupier, contents, equipment and the income of the business itself often matter just as much, and the right cover depends on which of those you are.
