The dwellings are fl ats in blocks and fl ats inhouses (maisonettes) where the Council still retain the freehold ownership and the leases state that the Council, as theFreeholder, will arrange the buildings insurance on behalf of the Leaseholder and recharge the premium as part of the ServiceCharge. Other fl ats in some blocks have not been sold (Council tenanted) and are separately insured so insurance cover forthese fl ats is not required.
