In 1931, Underwriter's Survey Limited bought out the company and the London branch became the Head Office. The Underwriter's Survey Limited continued to publish Fire Insurance Plans in Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario until 1960, when it merged with the Western Canadian Underwriters' Association and the British Columbia Underwriters' Association to form the Canadian Underwriters' Association.
