Strata Insurance

What is strata insurance?

If you own a townhouse, unit, or apartment and you’re sharing common space with others, you don’t want to be left to foot the bill if there’s damage to shared parts of the building or items.

Strata insurance protects the building and common areas or facilities, with the premiums paid for by the owners’ corporation.

What can it cover?

Strata insurance can cover the building and all common or shared property, and contents which belong to the owners’ corporation. The type of cover and its cost will depend on the kind of building, where it’s located and the amount of common property you share.
