Buildings Insurance for Block of Flats

Hi

The Buildings Insurance for our block of flats expires soon. Rather than just continue with our current insurer, I wanted to have a look round and obtain other quotes. Does anyone happen to know the best way of doing this? Or can anyone recommend an insurance company?

Thanks

  • Hi there

    I recommend you speak to an insurance broker. If you try to arrange cover yourself, you will be the one that is blamed if something goes wrong and it's not covered, such as if you don't opt for AD cover and someone spills paint all over their kitchen units whilst redecorating.

    The broker will manage the policy and any claims for you (again, if Flat A makes a claim and you, living in Flat D, were the one who arranged the insurance, do you really want them knocking on your door at 10pm askign for advice on how to fill in the claim form?). It's much easier that way!!

    this may sound like a silly question, but if I went through an insurance broker, would they charge me a fee?
  • The broker should receive a commission from the insurer for the policy, so there should not be a fee.
