Condo Insurance and Townhouse Insurance
in Murrieta – Condo Unit Owner’s Insurance
Insuring a condominium is different than insuring a home. And the biggest difference is knowing where your responsibilities begin and end. That’s why it really pays to work with a knowledgeable insurance agent to custom tailor condo insurance for your particular situation.
Your Condo Insurance Coverage Options
Your condo association buys insurance for the building and common areas. In choosing your condo policy, you should consider the areas of the building that you own, your personal belongings, and any safety systems you have in place. Safeco can help you find a policy that best meets your needs.
Ask Your SGB Independent Broker’s Agent
Your independent Safeco agent can help you find insurance that meets your specific needs. Here are a few things to discuss when you talk:
- Which areas of the structure am I responsible for?
- Can you talk me through my condo’s interior features and the things I own, so I can make an informed decision about coverage?
- Are discounts available to me if I carry multiple policies, or have a security system and fire resistance?
Special Needs Insurance for Condo Owners
SGB can provide you with insurance from a company that specially designs insurance policies to address the needs of condo owners.
Even though your condo likely carries a master insurance policy to cover the building, you may want a separate policy to protect your individual interests.
Townhome vs Townhouse – Exceptions:
A Townhouse may fall under the same criteria as a Condominium, but some Townhomes do not have an organization providing insurance for buildings, maintenance or common areas. In this case, each unit is considered a single-family residence and standard homeowners insurance applies. Talk with your SGB agent regarding the protection needed for your Townhome situation.
Condo and Townhouse insurance normally provides coverage for:
- Improvements you make to your unit, which are not covered by your association agreement
- Structures you own
- Unexpected association loss assessments
- Personal Liability
- Legal defense costs from lawsuits
- Personal property you own
As a condo owner, you share responsibility for certain community resources and, therefore, you may be asked to pay for repairs or lawsuits not covered by the association’s master insurance policy.
