Condo Insurance Information
What Condo Insurance coverage do I need?
Condo Unit Owners Insurance, often referred to as a HO6 policy, is a form of Homeowners Insurance that is designed for the unique needs of a unit owner. A condominium building or association should have a commercial master policy that covers the structure and common property. But what about your personal belongings, or interior coverage for things like additions and alterations? Your association most likely does not provide insurance coverage for the personal belongings in your individual unit for damages resulting from an accidental loss that you become legally obligated.
The HO6 (Home Owners form 6) is the go to policy for the unit owner to cover the gap left by what the master policy will not cover. You will want to insure your belongings and interest for perils such as fire, theft, vandalism, wind and hail, flood (may not be provided in the HO6), as well as other things. Similar to a homeowners policy, a Condo Unit Owners policy has coverage including:
- Dwelling or Additions and Alterations - to pay for repairs to the interior portion of your unit if damaged by a covered peril and not covered by the association's master insurance policy.
- Personal Property or Contents - to pay for loss of your valuables and personal belongings in your condo.
- Liability and Medical Expenses - to pay in the event someone is injured in your condo.
- Living Expenses - in the event of a loss, you may need money for additional expenses such as temporary housing or the cost of dining out.
Most HO6 insurance policies are pretty flexible. This means that it typically can be used for condo unit owners that use them as a primary residence, secondary or seasonal residence, or even a rental property.
So, if you find yourself asking - Do I need a HO6 policy when buying a condo? Now that you may have a decent understanding of what a HO6 policy does to cover your condo unit, the question is really why shouldn't you have a condo insurance policy. Even if a mortgage company does not require you to have a condo policy, it is still worth the peace of mind. Oh, and a condo insurance policy can be affordable, with a basic policy starting around $200 per year; and we can insure new ones, old ones, condos near the beach, inland, or even if you don't have prior insurance on your condo unit.

Things to consider regarding Condo Insurance in Myrtle Beach.
Here are a few things to discuss with your agent when purchasing insurance for your condo unit. Because of the enhanced exposure to hurricane or flood damage make sure to thoroughly discuss this when obtaining Myrtle Beach condo insurance. It is also important to work with an agent in the coastal area or one that is very familiar with issues involved in coastal property insurance.
- How much will it cost to rebuild the condo unit (interior that HOA insurance does not cover) and replace my belongings if they are damaged or destroyed? (Although insurance agents are not property appraisers and can not tell you the exact replacement cost, they should be able to talk you through the home's features and the things you own so you can make an informed decision about coverage.)
- Does the insurance company have a good reputation for customer service? Is it know for paying claims fairly and promptly?
- What discounts are available? (Ask about multiple policy, security system, and fire resistance discounts.)
- What is the process for filing and settling a claim? (Ask who to call and what happens after you file a claim.)
