Leaseholders are hit by Insurance scam

A report in the Financial Mail on Sunday said that some leaseholders were being overcharged by £50 million a year by Managing Agents and landlords for their building insurance.

John Correll, who is an Essex property agent, said that freeholders and some landlords were buying building insurance at a discount and then charging their leaseholders a ridiculously high price for it. They are being conned.

Unfortunately leaseholders feel that they are unable to take out proceedings because of costly legal fees, so they simply swallow the charges.
