Insure your condominium correctly

We don’t know any different from home: a community of owners insures the entire building structure. It’s efficient and the cheapest way for everyone.

In Spain, it is common for administrations to insure only the jointly used building fabric. This means that each owner must insure their own part of the building. If this is not done, gaps arise – especially in the case of liability towards co-owners. You should therefore instruct your management to correct this situation.

Iberia Insurance Broker works with all the major insurance companies in Spain. This gives us favorable insurance premiums and transparency.

The advantages of private condominium insurance

Many people in Spain also opt for private health insurance to have more flexibility and comfort. Here are some advantages:

Protection of communal areas

A homeowner association insurance covers damage to commonly used areas such as stairwells, elevators, gardens, or pools. This ensures the preservation of value and safety in these areas.

Shared cost distribution

All owners pay monthly community fees used for repairs, maintenance, and insurance. This evenly distributes the financial burden and minimizes surprise expenses.

Efficient management and collaboration

Through regular owner meetings and employing a property manager, important decisions are coordinated and day-to-day business is managed. This facilitates organization and ensures harmonious living.

Important Questions & Answers

Frequently asked questions about building insurance for homeowner associations:

HOW should a condominium association be insured?

An owners’ association should be well insured to avoid unexpected financial burdens. The collective responsibility for the maintenance of buildings or residential complexes can be challenging, but the right insurance offers a high level of security. Here are some important points to consider:

Building insurance – the foundation of protection
This insurance covers community areas – from the roof to the elevator, and even the garden or pool. Without it, all owners would have to dig deep into their own pockets for fire, water, or storm damage, and in places like the Balearics, where the weather can be unpredictable, it is invaluable.
Unlike in Spain, where it is common to insure community areas separate from private spaces, we cover the entire building structure with a single policy. It is more cost-effective and prevents coverage gaps.

Liability insurance – protection against accidents
This type of insurance ensures that the community is not liable for accidents that occur in communal areas, be it a fall on a staircase or damage caused by falling debris.

Special risks
Every place is different, and sometimes tailored solutions are needed. In Mallorca, for example, some insure against natural disasters like floods or earthquakes, as these risks are higher in this region.

WHAT does the homeowner association insure?

In Spain, owner associations often only insure the community-used areas. Special property or private property is then not insured.

Special property refers to one’s own living spaces. The exterior walls, roof, heating and utility lines, as well as the land, including the green areas, are considered as community property.

Iberia Insurance Brokers always insure the entire residential complex, including the private premises. This way, there are never any coverage gaps for any owner.

If an owner additionally insures their apartment against building damages, they also receive homeowner and property owner’s liability insurance coverage. For example, neighbors below them are also protected against water damage from the apartment above.

WHAT protection does liability insurance offer?

Liability insurance is an important part of the condominium insurance. It protects the owners’ association from financial losses if someone is injured or property is damaged in community areas. It covers accidents like slipping on wet stairs, damage due to structural defects (e.g., falling roof tiles), or injuries caused by defective equipment in community rooms. This insurance ensures that the community does not incur high costs for medical care or repairs and gives the owners security in dealing with unforeseen incidents involving third parties.

IS condominium insurance for homeowner associations mandatory?

While the insurance of condominiums is not legally required in all regions, it is strongly recommended. Without such insurance, owners could face significant personal costs if community areas are damaged or accidents occur on the property.

HOW is the insurance sum calculated?

The sum insured is based on the restoration value of the community property and the value of individual items if additional coverage has been chosen. It is important to regularly review and update the insurance policy to account for any changes or improvements to the property.

SHOULD the president of the association take out separate insurance?

Yes, it is advisable that the voluntary chairman of the owners’ association is additionally insured, for example, with a Directors and Officers Liability Insurance. This protects the chairman from personal liability for decisions or mistakes made in managing the community’s affairs.

What is the difference between a residential building insurance and a single house insurance?

The condominium insurance covers the communal areas and liability, while the homeowners insurance covers the interior of a specific apartment or house, including personal belongings. Taking out both insurances ensures comprehensive protection for both private and communal property.
