Residential Strata insurance is mandatory and each state and territory has varying legislative requirements that deal with insurance for strata title properties. The insurance is generally designed to cover common areas as defined on the property’s title, this includes common property such as lawns, driveways, lifts and pools in the event of damage to or destruction of the building.
Strata insurance must also provide liability cover in the event of personal injury in connection with the insured property. You can be assured that with CHU your residential strata insurance policy is frequently updated as changes in legislation or other developments occur.
