Looks like you have to send it yearly.
Good luck!

Received one of these letters the other day demanding current Insurance documents and that I will need to transfer to Zurich upon renewal. Compton took over the lease a few years ago, don't know why it has taken them so long to enforce this provision and why do they think that now is a good time to try and fleece people of money.

Obviously I will be looking into the above document when it is time to renew, are they within their rights to charge a fee even when using the above ? Do they have to prove that this provision is indeed in the lease ?

So Compton have replied to my letter and have sent a picture of the lease with the paragraph about insurance.

"To insure and keep insured any buildings or structures erected on said land or any part thereof against loss or damage by fire in some Fire Insurance Office of repute to be approved of by the Lessors in a sum not less than the total current market value thereof and to make all payments necessary for the above purpose within fourteen days after the same shall have respectively become payable and to produce on demand to the Lessors the several policies of such insurance and the receipt for every such payment"

So I take it the only Insurance I would have to as part of this would be just against fire?
