Comprehensive Condo Insurance for Ottawa Homeowners
A common mistake is assuming that the condo corporation’s policy will cover you in the event of loss or damage to your unit. While the condo corporation’s policy covers loss or damage to the building it does not offer any protection for your personal belongings, upgrades to your unit or your liability. At Craig Hamilton Insurance we will help you navigate the complicated coverages, tailoring the insurance to your needs and lifestyle.
Coverages Available Include:
- Improvements & Betterments: The condo corporation’s insurance does not cover any upgrades that you have made to you unit. This coverage helps protect the upgrades you have made to make your unit unique
- Loss Assessment: When there is an insured loss to the common areas of your condominium you can be held financially responsible for a portion of the damages. This coverage offers protection against this unexpected expense.

Benefits of Investing in Condo Insurance
Your condo is more than a place to live. It may include years of personal purchases, custom improvements, belongings, and other items that would be difficult to replace after an unexpected loss. The right condo insurance protects the things that make your unit yours and provides financial support when covered problems arise.
Insurance also provides protection beyond the physical property. Depending on your policy, coverage may extend to personal liability and certain expenses associated with temporarily leaving your home after a covered loss.
Reviewing these protections in advance reduces the risk of discovering a coverage gap when you need your policy most.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I consider when choosing condo insurance?
Consider the things that make your condo and circumstances unique when reviewing your coverage. This includes the value of your belongings and any improvements made to your unit, along with financial responsibilities that may arise after an unexpected loss. Your needs may also change as your lifestyle or property changes over time. Speaking with an experienced broker provides an opportunity to review these details and understand which coverage options suit your situation.
Can I change my condo insurance coverage later?
Your coverage does not have to remain unchanged throughout your time as a condo owner. Changes to your property or circumstances may warrant an adjustment to your policy. Consulting with our team when something changes gives you an opportunity to review whether your current protection remains appropriate.
What happens to my insurance if I move to another condo?
Moving to a different condo is a good time to review your insurance rather than simply carrying your existing policy forward. A new property may have different features or circumstances that affect your coverage needs.
