10. Application of policy excess Current policy excess • £150 in respect of escape of water • £1,000 in respect of subsidence, landslip or heave • £100 in respect of all other claims Payment of policy excess • In respect of each and every flat So in the event of an escape of water that affects 2 leasehold flats, each leaseholder has to pay their own excess (total value of excesses paid £300) • In respect of each and every loss So if one flat suffers 3 separate incidents of water damage, 3 lots of excess i.e. £450 will be payable by the leaseholder

11. The leaseholder is always responsible for payment of their policy excess When an Insurance policy is in joint names (London Borough of Islington and leaseholders) the insurer can not make a recovery from the other insured party, even if they believe this party are responsible for the damage. Ocaso can only recover settled claims where they believe a third party (i.e. not when the leaseholder or London Borough of Islington) has been negligent so they could consider a recovery from • A contractor • A tenant You can only recover your own money so Ocaso can not recover a leaseholders excess on their behalf nor could a leaseholder recover Ocaso’s money

12. Tenants It is not Ocaso’s policy to recover paid claim costs from tenants for a number of reasons. • The degree of investigation that is required in proving the tenant is negligent • The costs of making the recovery balanced against the likely success

13. Questions and answers
