INTRODUCTION
Residents’ Management Company (RMC) Insurance is specialist cover designed for companies established by leaseholders to manage residential buildings, communal areas and shared facilities on behalf of residents.
RMCs may have responsibility for arranging buildings insurance, maintaining communal spaces, organising contractors, collecting service charges and ensuring the property is managed in line with the relevant lease obligations.
A tailored RMC insurance policy can help protect the building, management company, directors and leaseholders against a range of property, liability and management-related risks.
COVERAGE
Depending on the property, insurer and policy selected, additional protection may include terrorism cover, engineering and lift inspection cover, legal expenses, employers’ liability and protection for communal facilities used by residents and visitors.
A comprehensive RMC insurance policy can be tailored to your building and management responsibilities and may include:
The exact level of protection will depend on the size, type, and occupancy of the property.
