Residential Estate Insurance

Specialist Insurance for Residential Estates and Communal Areas

We provide specialist residential estate insurance designed to protect the shared areas and responsibilities within residential developments. Through our exclusive scheme with leading insurer Intact, we are able to offer tailored cover for estate common parts, helping residents’ management companies & committees protect their assets with confidence.

Residential estates often involve a mix of privately owned homes alongside shared land, access ways and communal structures. We understand that these risks can be more complex than standard property insurance, which is why our approach focuses on clarity, flexibility and robust protection.

Public Liability Cover

Our standard Public Liability insurance provides protection for estates against third-party injury or property damage arising from the common parts.

We are able to offer:

• £5,000,000 Public Liability cover from £208.00 inclusive
  (based on an estate of approximately 15 houses with no additional risk features affecting rating)

This provides a cost-effective way to ensure the estate has appropriate liability protection in place for its shared areas.

Optional Package Cover – Material Damage & Extensions

For clients who require wider protection, we also offer a flexible package option where Public Liability can be combined with Material Damage cover.

Material Damage Cover – £250,000

This section provides protection for estate communal property including:

• Buildings and structures
• Landlords’ fixtures and fittings within and on the structures
• Central heating systems serving communal areas
• Small outside structures, extensions, annexes, gangways and pedestrian access bridges
• Concrete, paved or asphalt forecourts, yards, terraces, drives and footpaths
• Walls, gates and fences
• Plant, machinery and other contents used in connection with the estate

This ensures that the physical fabric of the estate’s shared spaces is properly protected against insured damage.

Employers’ Liability Cover

Where required, we can also include Employers' Liability cover up to £10,000,000. This provides protection if the estate has a legal responsibility for employees or volunteers working on its behalf, helping safeguard against claims arising from injury or illness connected with their duties.

This cover can be particularly valuable for Residents' Management Companies (RMCs) and other organisations where directors, committee members or volunteers are involved in maintaining or managing the estate.

Removal of Trees Cover

Our estate insurance can also include cover for the removal of fallen trees or branches following insured damage.

If trees owned by or the responsibility of the insured suffer damage during the period of insurance due to an insured peril, we will cover the reasonable and necessary costs of:

• Lopping or removing fallen trees or branches from the premises

This cover is subject to a limit of £5,000 for any one claim or series of claims arising from the same original cause.

Why Choose Us for Estate Insurance?

We understand that no two estates are the same. From small private developments to larger managed communities, each estate has its own layout, responsibilities and risk profile.

Our approach is simple:

• Clear, straightforward advice
• Tailored insurance solutions for each estate
• Access to specialist and mainstream insurers
• Competitive pricing through established insurer relationships
• Support from quotation through to renewal

We focus on getting the cover right rather than overcomplicating the process.
