Dispelling those frequency asked insurance myths about communal areas within block of flats;

Communal areas are areas within a block of flats or an estate which all residents have a right to use and for which the Residential Management Company or Freeholder is responsible. These include communal hallways, shared stairways, landings, pathways and surrounding grounds.

The Insurance policies that we offer as a broker include a minimum of £20,000 for contents for the communal areas. Solving any disputes over who’s responsibility it is and then is it covered.

A common question we get asked is “What would be covered in a communal area?”

Some blocks of flats have larger communal areas , both internally and externally where you may have items such as tables and chairs, benches, pictures, rugs and plants which would all be covered for loss or damage under this insurance subject to an insured peril ( Fire, Theft / Attempted Theft, Accidental Damage to name a few).
