Surveyors working for one of the UK's biggest property agents will be appointed representatives (AR) under FSA insurance selling regulations.

The move comes at a time when the regulation of property managers has come under the spotlight.

Savills carries out property management, including insurance sales, through Savills Commercial (SC), its property services company. SC trades under the name FPDSavills.

SC will become an appointed representative of Savills Private Finance (SPF), the group's IFA and general insurance broking arm.

SPF head of insurance Richard Lowe said that SPF was already FSA authorised for its IFA activities and would vary its permissions for its general insurance activities.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
