What is residential building insurance?

Residential building insurance, also known as housing cooperative and apartment building insurance, provides financial security for many people in a residential building, and is the main motivation for purchasing the insurance. Good insurance secures buildings and belongings in case something should happen, and expedites repairs after an accident has occurred.

Extra peace of mind with ancillary benefits

The co-ownership or housing cooperative can choose extra coverage that covers board of directors’ liability and legal assistance.
