What is residential building insurance?

Residential building insurance is also called housing cooperative and co-ownership insurance. It provides financial security for many housing associations and is the strongest motivation for taking out insurance. Good insurance covers buildings and property if something were to happen and speeds up repairs after an accident has occurred.

Extra peace of mind with ancillary benefits

The co-ownership or housing cooperative can choose extra coverage that covers board of directors’ liability and legal assistance.
