Body Corporate Insurance Broker for Western Cape Schemes

What is body corporate insurance?
Body corporate insurance is the scheme-level insurance arranged for a sectional title development. It usually focuses on the buildings, common property and shared liability risks rather than an owner’s personal contents.
For trustees, the practical question is not only whether the premium is competitive. The key question is whether the scheme can rely on the policy when there is a geyser burst, water damage claim, storm damage, public liability incident, fidelity issue or renewal dispute.
Lowensvlei Insurance Brokers assists with policy reviews, renewal preparation, claims guidance and communication support for trustees and managing agents across the Western Cape.
