IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
If you own a flat or apartment and the buildings are insured via a management company you may find that in many cases the cover will be limited to the super structure of the property only, therefore cover for internal fixtures and fittings such as bathrooms, kitchens, flooring, decorations or other items may not be covered.
You should check with the insurer of the property or your insurance agent to find out exactly what you are covered for and what is excluded.
Anything that isn't covered by your buildings insurer can be covered under your contents policy as we have designed a section which allows you to obtain cover for your fixtures and fittings.
All claims are settled under the buildings section of the policy.
