Insurance services

Tender description

Leeds City Council invites bids for the provision of its property insurance in respect of private dwellings sold on a leasehold basis, the majority of these were under the Right To Buy (RTB) legislation. The dwellings are flats in blocks and flats in houses (maisonettes) where the Council still retain the freehold ownership and the leases state that the Council, as the Freeholder, will arrange the buildings insurance on behalf of the Leaseholder and recharge the premium as part of the Service Charge. Other flats in some blocks have not been sold (Council tenanted) so insurance cover for these flats is not required. Leeds City Council are the freeholders and the stock is currently managed in-house.
