For condo owners: Do you get building insurance for your own unit?

If yes, what does the insurance provide in case (worst scenario) that entire condo building is destroyed? Do you get lumpsum or what?

If not, what happens when the entire condo building is destroyed? Does the association dues cover insurance for the building including your unit?

Would appreciate your advise and experience on this. Thanks a lot!

Also with the association dues,- if it has coverage.

Every condo has a building insurance, usually integrated sa monthly dues, or they ask for a separate payment at the start of the year.

Now, for your own unit, you can get an insurance for theft, water damage, fire, and other acts of God... usually they will ask a list of all the content (you can include any renovation done), and from there they will compute for the insurance cost. I think 1M will cost you 1,200 pesos per year.

for any insurance for house/building/condo make sure that it is explicitly written in black and white that the whole coverage amount is not subject to depreciation.

dyan madaming nadale during ondoy. they charged yearly the same premiums for the same amount of insurance then when the flood came they charged depreciation cost. so like you have a property insured for 10M and it was built 5 years ago, they charged you the same premium year after year (kung 1.2k per million like qwerty said then 12k per year) but if you make a claim now then they will factor in 5 years of depreciation. dyan kami natalo during ondoy. my house was insured for 3M and i was expecting an award of 1.2M due to the flood damage(estimate done by them) however after depreciation charges we were able to get only less than 500k!!! if we wanted to contest daw then we need to file a case. my lawyer said that will take several years so just take the money.

so, make sure it is very explicit in your policy that there will be no such depreciation charges from the insured amount later.
