This policy is also known as: ‘Defective Lease – Insurance Provisions’
The Contingent Buildings Insurance legal indemnity policy provides cover when any part of the building of which the flat forms part is damaged by a type of event against which the flat or the building was insured at the policy’s commencement date, but
- the landlord, managing agent, residents association or another lessee has failed to insure entirely or for an adequate amount
- reinstatement of the building is frustrated by planning controls or the lease does not oblige the landlord to reinstate
- the lease could be determined in the event of major damage
- the landlord keeps the proceeds of the insurance without reinstating
- the insurance arranged by the landlord, managing agent or residents association proves invalid as a result of the act of third parties.
The property must be based within England and Wales.
For full terms, please see the Policy.
