Sign up to attend the Underwriting Club property meeting
Property underwriting is facing sustained pressure as loss volatility, claims inflation and emerging risks collide with a softening market and increased competition.
With this in mind, Post will host a panel at the first Underwriting Club meeting of 2026 focused on underwriting under pressure: discipline, disclosure and market behaviour
During the session speakers from Jensten and Touchstone will touch on topics such as underinsurance, disclosure, data quality and accountability, particularly where responsibility for understanding risk is increasingly blurred.
Elsewhere, Alexandra Wyard from Allianz Personal Lines will explore how the property risk landscape is becoming increasingly complex as climate volatility, technological change and socio-economic pressures reshape loss profiles and exposure aggregation.
And Lynsey Seal, principal fire engineer at the London Fire Brigade, will offer a front-line operational perspective on why small decisions or behaviours can have disproportionate impacts once a fire occurs.
