Buildings Insurance

I live in a converted Victorian House which was split into 5 flats in the 1980's. I have recently become secretary of the Company that the flat owners formed to run the building back in 1998. Three of the flats are owner occupied and two and owned by people who rent the flats out. What is the best type of Buildings Insurance Policy for this situation?
Many thanks for any advice.

    So is it a share of freehold between you all or is it a leasehold with the leaseholders also being shareholders of the freeholding company?

    Speak to a couple of brokers and they'll be able to provide quotes for an appropriate buildings insurance, its unlikely to be something you'll be able to get from confused.com etc

    Its generally called Property Owners Insurance and is transacted by commercial insurance brokers.
