Why Resident Directors Need Specialist Insurance

Resident directors often take on significant responsibilities despite serving on a voluntary basis.

These responsibilities may include:

  • Arranging Buildings Insurance
  • Managing service charge budgets
  • Overseeing repairs and maintenance
  • Appointing contractors
  • Protecting communal areas
  • Ensuring lease obligations are met
  • Managing health and safety responsibilities

A specialist insurance policy helps ensure the building is properly protected while supporting the governance responsibilities of the management company.

Buildings Insurance for Residential Blocks

Buildings Insurance is the foundation of most policies arranged by resident directors.

Cover can help protect:

  • Roofs, walls, and foundations
  • Hallways and communal corridors
  • Staircases
  • Shared entrances
  • Lifts
  • External structures
  • Boundary walls
  • Permanent fixtures and fittings
  • Car parks and communal grounds

If the building suffers damage following an insured event, the policy can contribute towards repair or rebuilding costs based on the agreed level of cover.

Directors' & Officers' Liability Insurance

Many resident directors are volunteers acting in the best interests of fellow leaseholders.

Directors’ & Officers’ (D&O) Liability Insurance can help protect directors against claims arising from alleged errors, omissions, breaches of duty, or management decisions made while carrying out their responsibilities.

This cover may provide protection against claims relating to:

  • Alleged negligence
  • Breach of duty
  • Management decisions
  • Regulatory matters
  • Administrative errors

For many resident-led management companies, D&O Insurance forms an important part of a comprehensive insurance programme.
