Insurance & Replacement Valuations
Reinstatement cost assessments reflecting the real cost of rebuilding in Seychelles, including imported materials and shipping.
Replacement cost in Seychelles is not the same calculation as on a mainland market. Most building materials, fittings and specialist labour are imported, and shipping, freight delays and import duties all add to what it would actually cost to rebuild a property. An insurance valuation that ignores this routinely under-insures Seychelles property.
Forctis prepares reinstatement valuations for residential, commercial and hospitality property across Seychelles, for insurers, brokers and property owners confirming their sums insured are adequate.
We recommend a Seychelles insurance valuation is reviewed more frequently than in a market with local building supply chains, since import costs and freight rates can move quickly and independently of local property values.
Common questions about insurance & replacement valuations.
Why does replacement cost matter more in Seychelles than elsewhere?
Because most construction materials and many skilled trades are imported, freight and import cost movements can change rebuilding costs significantly, independent of local property values, making regular review important.
How often should a Seychelles insurance valuation be updated?
We generally recommend a review every one to two years given how quickly import and freight costs can move, more frequently than would typically apply in a market with local building supply chains.
