DAS and Goodlord win at Insurance Times Awards

DAS and Goodlord, a leading proptech company and one of the UK’s top 50 start-ups, have won the ‘Claims Partner of the Year’ category at the annual Insurance Times Awards.

The category recognises claims, loss adjusting, legal and service partners that have delivered outstanding profitable, flexible and efficient support to UKGI brokers and insurers.

Goodlord and DAS UK built a ground-breaking automated claims process through Goodlord’s digital lettings platform to remove the administration and stress for their agents and landlords in the claims process, reducing the time it takes to make a property protection claim, resolve a legal dispute, and ensure the swift payment of rent back to landlords.

David Swigciski, Director, Client Services, DAS UK Group, said: “This is a fantastic achievement which clearly demonstrates how DAS UK works closely with business partners to provide bespoke, market leading, solutions.

“2020 has been a really tough year for the private rental sector but I’m delighted that, through close partnership with Goodlord, we’ve been able to respond in a way that has helped Goodlord agents balance the interests of tenants, their landlords and their own businesses.”.

Oli Sherlock, Head of Insurance at Goodlord: “We’re incredibly proud to have built such a fantastic partnership with DAS, especially in the current unusual circumstances. We have not only built a market-leading proposition, but they've also worked closely with us to design a claims and fulfilment process that really suits the needs of our end customer.

“DAS has gone above and beyond during the Covid-19 pandemic to make the right changes at the right time to protect the policy so it could protect our customers. We see DAS as a long-term partner and we look forward to building more products together.”
