Tips to reduce your body corporate insurance premiums

Tips to reduce your body corporate insurance premiums

The cost associated with taking out an insurance policy is one of the biggest challenges facing bodies corporate. Body corporate insurance can get expensive, but understandably so when you consider the wide range of items that the insurance needs to cover. In fact, the total insured value of strata schemes in Australia in 2018 was in excess of$995,000,000,000.

While strata insurance is a necessary expense, there are ways you can reduce your insurance premium and not miss out on any of the benefits that the right amount of insurance cover provides. When it comes time for your body corporate to think about your premium renewal, consider these tips:

Tip #1 – Shop around

Like with many things, if you shop around you can often find something cheaper than what you already have. Do your research, and compare premiums from other insurers to see what they can offer your body corporate. You can do this yourself, or use a broker to compare different insurers.

Keep your needs in mind though, as cheaper does not always mean better. You’ll need to compare the coverage offered by different polices to find one at a competitive price that also meets the needs of your body corporate. You can also get help with this step from a body corporate manager such as Capitol BCA.

 

Tip #2 – Ask your insurance company how your body corporate can lower its premium

Sometimes, just talking to your current insurer and asking them about ways you can lower your premium is enough to give you some options – especially if you mention that you’re shopping around and considering moving your policy. Some insurance companies may even allow you a discount if your body corporate has not made any claims or if they combine multiple polices, so it’s worth asking if this is a possibility.

 

Tip #3 – Reduce the risk by making changes

If your body corporate can demonstrate that it is actively working to minimise potential risk, you may be able to lower your insurance premium. You might be able to use strategies such as removing overhanging trees to reduce the risk of falls, maintaining roofing to keep the roof structurally sound, ensuring gutters are cleaned regularly to help reduce the risk of storm damage, or having a building inspector conduct regular inspections

just to name a few. There are plenty of things you can do to reduce potential risks, and any costs your body corporate incurs will be offset by insurance savings.

 

Tip #4 – Check the replacement value is accurate

Bodies corporate must conduct an independent valuation of the building at least every five years, so that the value of the building always remains accurate. However, it’s usual for

insurance companies to automatically increase the value of the building each year on the body corporate policy. As time goes by however, the automatic value increase imposed by the insurer may exceed the actual independent valuation of the building. If this is the case, the body corporate can correct the value of the building with the insurer, which may reduce the premium.

 

Tip #5 – Pay insurance premiums in one lump sum

If your body corporate can afford to do it this way, paying the premium in one lump sum is usually a cheaper method, rather than paying by instalments.

 

Tip #6 – Increase the excess

The insurer will often lower the premium of your policy if you can increase the excess payable on a claim – although it’s important to make sure your body corporate has enough funds available to cover the cost of repairs which fall below the excess.

Why does body corporate insurance vary so much?

Why does body corporate insurance vary so much?

Body corporate insurance can vary greatly between properties, and it’s important that all owners understand what is and is not covered by their specific insurance policy.

Strata insurance can be more expensive in certain areas of Australia, such as areas which are more prone to cyclones and those exposed to greater risks. Building in these areas are more expensive to insure than buildings in less-hazardous regions, so body corporate owners will have to take geographic risks into consideration when insuring their property.

Other factors which are taken into consideration when determining insurance costs include:

* The age and condition of the building

* The vulnerability of the property to an insured event

* The claims history of the strata complex

* Commercial activities carried out on the premises (for example, holiday letting)

* The costs of common property (for example, pools, lifts, car parks, fire protection systems etc.)

* Government taxes on insurance

* The level of excess payment chosen by the body corporate

Any body corporate has a legal duty to insure the property and to make sure their insurance policy meets the minimum legislative requirements. Find more on Body corporate insurance 101 here >>

Digital travel is inevitable

The digital transformation has turned up and down the world in which we and our brands live and operate. A fact that places completely new demands on your organisation and brand new expectations for you who work with marketing communications and sales.

It is important to be involved in the evaluation and primarily to be found, in the alternative, to be selected and thirdly contacted, or even better, actively contacting themselves. And you can only do that if you have started your digital journey.

 

Exponential development

The development will go even faster in the future, given the exponential era we are in, for example, processing capacity, mobile technology.

There are already marketing services analyzing more than 230 terabytes of data each day, managing 15 million requests per second and responding to these within 20 milliseconds while reaching 1 billion global users through data-generated, relevant, and personalised ads.

 

50 percent suffer from anxiety

Not to mention all abbreviations like PIM, CMS, SEO, SEM, and more.

Is your management ready for Digitalisation?

Is your management ready for Digitalisation?

Digital transformation is now on the table of every business management, and you agree that most companies will in some way be affected by new business models and revenue from digital processes. There are many Body corporate managers adopted digitalisation in Australia.

The prerequisite for success is that the owners, the board and the management must be aware of what it means to achieve successful results.
Today there is a lack of digital competence in boards and management teams. According to a current study, 80% of directors in Australian companies were asked about digital development, everyone agreed that development will affect business models.

“Everyone in the board and management must have digital skills.” But most are uncertain if they own such competence in boards and management teams.

Some companies have started triumphant and started the process than in most cases smaller companies. But to succeed, it is necessary to have support and backing from senior management.

The risk is that the traditional business model obscures the possibilities of the digital transformation and will be treated as a limited and limited project. Expertise in digital issues of many companies can point out that a failure will be realized. This is a problem and high demands on management’s self-awareness. Is it necessary for members of the management team and board without digital skills to be replaced?

Obviously, it is up to each to assess the risk factor. What, on the other hand, everyone must strive for is to build a culture where everyone is vulnerable to acquiring new knowledge and skills, not removing existing ones. Perhaps there are resources at the company that already work with digital processes, use these to share their knowledge. Then at least everyone can get an overall picture and an understanding of how all of this will change different parts of the company, and ultimately the result.
