Answers South Carolina homeowners ask most
What does the HOA master policy cover vs. my HO-6?
The master policy insures the structure and common areas. Your HO-6 covers your unit’s interior finishes and personal property, plus your personal liability. We’ll read your HOA documents and align your policy accordingly.
Do I need flood coverage for my condo?
Flood (rising water) is excluded by both the master policy and HO-6. If you’re near creeks, lakes, or in low-lying areas of the Upstate, ask about flood insurance for building improvements inside your unit and your contents.
Is loss assessment really necessary?
Yes—large claims (like roof or elevator damage) can trigger HOA assessments to unit owners. Loss assessment coverage helps pay your portion, subject to policy terms.
How much condo insurance do lenders require?
Requirements vary. We’ll coordinate with your lender and HOA to provide proof of insurance that meets their specific limits and endorsements.
Should I raise my liability limits?
If you host guests, own significant assets, or want broader protection, consider personal umbrella insurance to extend coverage beyond your HO-6 limits.
What if I’m moving from a condo to a house?
We’ll help you transition to homeowners insurance and align coverages (including valuables and liability) so nothing gets missed at closing.
