Burlington

Your local brokerage, based in Burlington.

HIFA's office is in Burlington, and most of our clients are within a half-hour of it. That means we can walk your site, meet you at the shop, and read the lease your landlord just sent you — rather than doing all of it through a web form.

Burlington runs on a mix that suits an independent brokerage well: an established industrial and manufacturing base in the north-east, a dense trades sector serving Halton's residential growth, and plaza retail and restaurants along Brant, Fairview and Appleby. We know which insurers have appetite for each, and we know what commercial landlords in this city are asking tenants to carry.

Local knowledge

What we know about insuring in Burlington

  • We are here, not 'servicing the area'

    Our office is in Burlington. For a warehouse, a plant, a kitchen or a job site, being able to attend in person is the difference between an underwriter seeing a form and an underwriter seeing the risk.

  • Halton's residential growth drives the trades

    Sustained residential construction across Halton keeps Burlington's trades busy — and keeps pushing them into contracts with $5M limit requirements and additional insured wording they have not carried before.

  • Established industrial stock brings property questions

    Much of Burlington's industrial building stock is mature. Roof age, sprinkler adequacy and updated electrical are the three things underwriters ask about first, and having the answers ready materially changes the terms you are offered.

  • Lakeshore property values outrun standard limits

    Replacement cost on established Burlington homes, particularly south of Lakeshore, frequently exceeds what a standard policy was set up to carry. It is worth checking rather than assuming.
