• Log Burner Insurance From Property Management Compnay

    By Guest on 29th May 2019

    We live in a first floor apartment in an old converted victorian school. I requested permission from the property management company to which they responded with several queries such as specification of log burner and storage of wood. However the property management company have now stated their insurance company does not cover this so cannot authorise its use.
    Is this correct and if yes can I get my own personal building insurance to cover this?

    Check your lease. If the lease says no alterations without consent then they can refuse consent is they have a valid reasons. If it would invalidate their insurance I suspect that would be a valid reason. If you proceed without their consent they could request you remove it at your own cost and as a last resort if you did not do so they could apply to court to forfeit your lease. You may wish to refer them to your insurer if he would cover it but note they have obligations to a number of leaseholders at the property and they might not all be happy with an increase in premium for your log burner, assuming your insurer can actually insure the block.
