Property Managers and Agents
If you are responsible for arranging insurance for blocks of flats, rental apartments or commercial buildings for third party building owners, you could become liable if a problem arises with that insurance…
Property managers and agents insurance can protect you against that liability.
Choosing the wrong cover for a property can have a knock-on effect for many parties, including individual residents or tenants, the freeholder, leaseholders, mortgage lenders, and the Residents’ Association or Residents’ Management Company. Each party can potentially suffer a loss and raise a claim.
New Rules on Multi-occupancy Buildings Insurance
Effective from 31st December 2023, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has confirmed new measures to support leaseholders in the multi-occupancy buildings insurance market. Find out how this impacts you…
