If you have purchased your property from the Council under a lease agreement, the lease states the Council will affect adequate building insurance for your property.

If you wish to make a claim under the policy, please complete and return the claim form (please see below).

Please return the claim form plus two estimates for the necessary repairs or a copy of the paid invoice if repairs have already taken place. No claim can be finalised without the estimates and/or invoices being provided.

If you are unsure if the damage is covered under the terms and conditions of the policy, please refer to the Schedule of Policy Perils. This is available as a downloadable pdf file:
