WELCOME TO HARRIS BALCOMBE
harris

The key role of a loss assessor is to negotiate fair and equitable claims settlements on behalf of businesses and individuals who have suffered a catastrophic event, such as a fire or flood.

Harris Balcombe has been providing this service for over 140 years. Negotiating with insurers becomes a whole lot easier when you have the right expertise on your side. It's why we directly employ Chartered Accountants, Chartered Surveyors and Chartered Loss Adjusters so that when we go into negotiations on our clients' behalf we do so from a position of strength.

Our website provides plenty of information but we never forget that your claim is personal to you, so please pick up the phone. There is always someone available to help you.

We have been negotiating claims settlements with insurers on behalf of brokers for many years. A combination of more complicated policy wordings and the pressure for insurers to reduce claims ratios by more explicit use of repudiation or negotiated settlements is making the act of claiming more complex. We help you to get the claims settlement your clients deserve.
