It is the freeholder’s responsibility to take out buildings insurance for the whole building for which...

Reply to Leasehold buildings insuranceby SouthernDaveQuick copy from a website I found…
this policy is designed to cover leaseholders own fitted permanent fixtures and fittings. Such as kitchen and bathroom, not insured under the block buildings insurance, insured by the freeholder or management company-

I have flat where they want £6,000 per flat service charges. So far we have not paid, as some of the work has been done to a poor standard. They put £250 external doors and looks like it has been fitted by a clown. The letter box is gold, but the locks are in silver....

Reply to Leasehold buildings insuranceby AndrewDodIt is actually a very difficult area with no clear path. It is not within the demise of the FH, and thus not really his to insure.

Things go filed at Court, so they want an additional £1,200 in legal fees (on top of the £350 already paid. On the court form...

by bamboccioHello,
The context is a concerted house where leaseholders own the freehold.
The service charge is split by percentage of expenditure / costs.
One leaseholder is now going to alter his property and build a significant extension. This will cause a jump in the building insurance...-

Reply to Leasehold buildings insuranceby SydatonWith respect, I don't think that that is correct.
I don't think it is common for building insurance to exclude bathrooms and kitchens. I would expect interior fittings such as baths, kitchen units and toilets to be included in flats insurance.
I don't have separate policies...-
