    Commonhold Insurance
    Conditons of Commonhold Insurance are clearly defined and developed according to needs and interests of Commonhold and its occupants, their obligations to a bank in cases when it is involved. Commonhold Insurance policy usually consists of two parts: property and third party liability.

    Subject matter insured: parts of an apartment house that belong to tenants in proportion to owned property. These parts are walls, roof, balconies, outer windows, staircases, cellars, attics, technical systems (heating, water and power supply, ventilation etc)

    Risks insured:
    • fire
    • natural catastrophes
    • water leakage (from water supply and heating systems, sewer pipes)
    • vandalism
    • burglary
    • third party liability and liability to tenants
    It is also possible to include additional cover. For example, debris removal costs in order to clean the site, removal costs and expenses for renting temporary lodging if the subject matter insured is unfit for living as a result of insured event.

    Commonhold may also be insured against "all risks". The essence of it that an insured case is every unexpected and unforeseen event. Conditions state not insured risks, but cover exclusions. The latter as a rule are premeditated actions and cases when damage can be avoided by following rules of maintenance. It should be taken into account that insurance premium for "all risks" cover is higher than for standard cover.

    Home Insurance for private client
    Our home is our castle. But a castle also needs protection. How is it possible to protect one's dwelling?

    Variant One
    Standard risks, which are also accepted by credit institutions:

    • Fire, direct stroke of lightning, explosion, crash of aircraft
    • Hail & storm
    • water discharged from the internal water supply network, sewer, heating, cooling systems
    • vandalism
    • burglary, robbery

    Variant Two

    "All Risks" cover – is maximum protection, when insured event is any unexpected and unforeseen accident. Conditions of Insurance in this case state only exclusions (i.e. events that are not indemnified): tear and wear, corrosion, mould, damages caused by rodents and other vermin, subsidence, errors in engineering, in other words all events that can be foreseen and prevented.

    What can be insured?

    Apartment – only interior finish (floors, ceilings and walls), supporting structure and external walls are not insured in this case. Apartment is insured at its replacement value. Apart from interior finish automatically covered: electrical system, electricity supply meter, built-in sanitary equipment. Interior also includes built-in wardrobes, ovens, suspended ceilings.

    Apartment ownership – Insurers also offer to insure not only interior finish, but also so called "legal share" of apartment building, i.e. external, a part of cellar or attic, common balcony and corridors.

    In case of a building covered: interior finish, external walls, roof, porch, stairs. Along with a building also covered: fence, terrace, street lightning, playgrounds and other similar small constructions. Larger constructions are to be separately indicated in the policy.

    Insuring summer cottage or a house with non-permanent residence does not differ much from insurance of a building. But as people usually do not live in such places permanently, the risks that Insurers cover are higher and the policy costs more. Some of the Insurers do not cover leakage from pipes and burglary is included only if there is a alarm system connected to a security company.

    Unfinished building is also possible to insure in case walls, roof, windows and doors are in place, but the set of risks will be limited.

    Small (auxiliary) buildings, such as saunas, sheds, greenhouses are also may be insured, but the risks are limited.

    Household (movable) property located in an apartment or house. It is not necessary to include the list of the property insured. In some cases movables are distributed between groups: furniture, electronics, clothes etc. Expensive items are to be separately indicated in the policy.

    Sum insured of a dwelling (house, apartment) is a replacement value to its condition prior to insured event and is completely different from a market value. For example, a house in the country is cheaper, than similar one in a city, but rebuilding of both will cost the same.

    In both new and old buildings different accidents with water supply, heating etc systems. These may result in damage not only to Assured's but also to third parties (for example, neighbours downstairs). That is why it is reasonable to include civil liability into hope property policy.
