The commercial property landscape in Corby

Corby is a Northamptonshire town with a strong manufacturing, logistics and distribution base — a legacy of its steel history — on extensive industrial estates, with a retail centre. Industrial and distribution premises carry the bulk of the value.

What sits inside the policy

• Cover for fire, flood, storm, impact, theft and malicious damage.
• Liability to visitors, customers and the public.
• Signage, glass and, in some placements, book debts.

What matters for Corby property

• Manufacturing and industrial units. Machinery, process and stock values, plus any hot works, drive rating and appetite.
• Logistics and distribution. High stock values, racking and business-interruption dependency on the larger units.
• Construction and protections. Unit construction, sprinklers and security feed the rating.
• Retail centre. Footfall and stock exposure in the town centre.

A Corby example

A worked example: a fire in a distribution unit halts fulfilment for weeks. The building repair is straightforward, but a business-interruption period set at a default twelve months, or a stock sum ignoring peak values and contract penalties, leaves the operator short while customers move on.

How we place the risk

1. Flag the location risks — flood, neighbours, security — up front.
2. Set the indemnity period against a real rebuild timeline.
3. Compare wordings, not just premiums, across insurers.

Gaps that catch owners out

• The sum insured drifting below rebuild cost over time.
• No allowance for demolition, debris removal and fees.
• Business interruption bought without enough indemnity period.
