      Strata Insurance vs Individual Lot Insurance

      Hi,

      I’ve purchased a villa unit in Victoria. There are three lots and a common property driveway. The lot boundaries are exterior face.

      The owners corporation has public liability insurance for the common property. They don’t have building insurance for the villa units. I understand lot owners can take out their own building insurance.

      My lender requires building insurance on my villa unit.

      Can I get individual home building insurance?

      Or, does the building insurance need to be provided by the owners corporation through their strata insurance policy?

      I would prefer to take out my own building insurance.

      Thanks

        There are special arrangements for two-lot schemes but I think not for three or more.

        There’s an interesting Q&A about that here on our friends’ LookUpStrata website.
