Block of Flats Insurance

Organising insurance for leasehold flats and apartments usually referred to as “Block of Flats Insurance” or “Block Insurance” is a huge responsibility. Whether you are a Residential Management Company, Right to Manage Company (RTM), Residents Association or a private individual with the responsibility to organise your Block Insurance we can help.

We can arrange competitive cover for anything from 2 converted flats to a large purpose built block with 100+ flats. We work with most major leading UK insurers with market leading products. We understand that price is an important factor for most residential blocks, that’s why we search our broad panel of insurers to find the best deal. You’ll also be assigned your own personal representative to work with including any claims assistance.

If your property is of non-standard construction, is listed or has an adverse claims history then we can help you too.

At John Whippy Insurance Brokers we understand the importance of providing a reliable and local service, with professional advice, so that our clients can build long-term trust with us when taking care of their insurance needs and requirements. We prefer to spend time listening to our clients, and then select or build appropriate insurance coverage at a premium that is acceptable to them. Ultimately, we want all of our clients to understand the cover they are purchasing, and have confidence that they are paying the right price for the right cover!

We do not disappear after point of sale, we are there to guide and advise our clients throughout the life of their policy – including with claims management.

There’s no shortage of choice when it comes to block insurance, but this can often confuse matters further. We offer both package and specialist  insurance cover based on your requirements. That means that every insurance policy we arrange for blocks of flats are different; therefore, we start with an initial call to discuss what your business does, what it’s potential exposures are, and what cover, we believe, is required to give you the right protection.

We’d love to help you with your Block Insurance, contact us or request a call back and get covered today!
