The Council undertook a s20 consultation exercise and sought competitive quotes for the building insurance commencing on 29th September 2023. Given the necessity to ensure cover is in place, we had to accept the only compliant bid we received. 

A summary of the buildings insurance cover can be viewed below.

If you sub-let your property, you will need to inform the relevant service areas. Please refer to our Leaseholder Services and Private Rented Property Licensing pages.

We suggest that you or your tenant consider additional landlord/tenant’s liability insurance. This will cover accidents in your property that cause damage to any of your neighbours’ properties. For example, you may be liable for the cost of repairs if you have a leaking washing machine, which damages the flat below yours.
