Hi,

I have questions regarding landed strata titles. Hope if anyone can help me clarify.

1) The JMB master policy of fire insurance only covers exterior/common areas only ? Or it includes the owner's property as well ?
If it includes common area as well as private area, wouldn't be the insured amount be higher if compared to buying own fire insurance?

It covers the entire building worth, including individual unit.

Normally, the policy does mention how much the entire building is covered.

The worth of it normally done by independent licensed valuer.
If owner/JMB feel it is under insured, can engage insurance company to do the revaluation, they are happy to do it (as high coverage, higher premium  biggrin.gif ).

Thanks for the reply, i was actually a bit skeptical because i thought the JMB fire insurance only covers common area like gym, swimming pool...etc

I have one more doubt, can the JMB insure the fire insurance policy to only cover the common area excluding your property ? Not sure if strata high rise and strata landed fire insurance policies can be different in terms of the coverage or it's a standard protocol...

Should you skimp on this? I mean it's not a lot of money. Recently in one of the condos I know. The unit below caught on fire. Unit above tiles popped and they claimed.

FYI, if you read my earlier post i am talking about landed strata titles !
Besides that, i'm not being skimp here. My point is that the adequacy of the JMB insurance coverage and not sure what it covered.

It is prudent to take up additional coverage if the JMB insurance is not adequate and if necessary.

Chill lah. Go clarify and ask with management then take up your own insurance if necessary. No point trying to find answers here.

I am chill here.. lol

Actually i don't have any landed strata title, that's the reason i'm asking here if anyone has experience with it. If i do have one, obviously i ask the management my self. I came to know about this from somewhere i think (not sure where), then i was intrigued on the amount of insurance policy produced by the JMB

Just curious to know for knowledge purpose

Check the insurance policy, they do state what is the coverage, and amount of it.

If JMB's insurance is covering it, buying additional may become redundant and waste of money only.

Previous post about covering entire building is about high rise one.
Personally has no experience deal with landed strata one.

Your loan bank is more worry than you if the house is not covered or not having adequate coverage.

Exactly, yeah it's quite rare to find info about landed strata titles...
