Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 Explanatory Notes

Insurance

393.Paragraphs 8 to 13 amend the Schedule to the 1985 Act.  They enable leaseholders to inspect the insurance policy for their building without first having to ask for a summary of the insurance cover.   They will also be able to take copies of the insurance policy and associated documents, or have copies provided to them, on payment of a reasonable fee.  Requests will have to be complied with within 21 days, rather than within one month. A new paragraph 4A is inserted to cover cases where a landlord disposes of his interest.  It also makes a number of other minor and consequential amendments to the Schedule to the 1985 Act.
