Own or buying a condominium? This type of home is covered differently than a single family home as the Home Owner’s Association typically has a policy that covers the building’s exterior, roof, building structure and common areas. In addition, the HOA policy usually provides some level of liability protection for the association to protect it in the event it is sued for negligence.
Condo policies cover the interior of the home, from the sheet rock in. This includes walls, flooring, cabinets, plumbing and lighting fixtures in addition to your personal property. Wise Insurance Group works with you to identify how much coverage you need.

Condo association insurance may cover many different common areas that complexes typically have. Depending on a particular policy’s terms and conditions, it might cover:
An insurance agent who specializes in condo association insurance can help associations find a policy that provides robust protection for their common areas.
Condo master policies are often underwritten as bare walls-in, single entity, or all-in policies. The differences between these policy types lie in what features they cover within condominium units:
All-in policies are also called “modified single entity policies.”
Which type of policy a condominium association purchases is up to its board (or members). Associations might purchase a bare walls-in policy if they want to keep premiums as low as possible. An all-in policy might be used to insure a luxury condominium complex, if unit owners can afford the higher premiums.
A knowledgeable insurance agent can help associations decide what type of policy they’d like to carry.
The premiums for condo master policies vary according to many factors. A complex’s location, size, age, construction, features, and other details can all impact cost. So too can many other details that insurers might ask for.
Because premiums vary across policies, associations should check customized quotes to find out how much their complex will cost to insure. An independent insurance agent can assist with getting quotes from several different insurers.
Whatever the cost of a condo master policy, that cost is typically passed onto unit owners as part of their monthly HOA fees. For this reason, association boards should consider policy costs in light of how much the average unit owner would like to pay.
