St George Wharf, located in Vauxhall SW8, is one of London’s premier residential developments—home to luxury apartments, concierge amenities, and high-performing rental units. As a leasehold estate, it operates under specific insurance arrangements that leaseholders must understand to remain compliant, protected, and well-informed.
In this guide, Fraser Bond, a leading London property consultancy, outlines how leasehold insurance is managed at St George Wharf, what it covers, and what additional protection leaseholders may need.
In leasehold properties like those at St George Wharf, the freeholder or managing agent arranges buildings insurance on behalf of all leaseholders. This is known as the block insurance policy, and it typically covers:
Structural elements of the building (roof, walls, glazing)
Communal systems (e.g. lifts, corridors, fire alarms)
Rebuilding costs in the event of fire, flood, or storm
Public liability for injuries in shared areas
Professional indemnity for management operations
At St George Wharf, this policy is arranged by the estate manager Rendall & Rittner, and the cost is passed down to each leaseholder via the annual service charge in accordance with the lease agreement.
Fraser Bond liaises with block managers to secure copies of the master policy and confirm what is and isn’t covered for your specific unit.
While the block policy covers the building itself, it does not extend to the contents, liability, or activities inside your individual flat.
St George Wharf leaseholders must therefore consider additional protection, including:
Contents Insurance – Protects personal belongings and valuables
Accidental Damage Cover – For flooring, fixtures, and fittings
Alternative Accommodation Cover – In case of fire, flood, or major damage
Landlord Insurance – Covers rental income loss, tenant liability, legal costs, and malicious damage
Rent Guarantee – Optional cover to protect against tenant arrears
Legal Liability – In case of injury claims related to your flat's condition
Fraser Bond works with specialist insurers to ensure leaseholders at St George Wharf are fully covered beyond the scope of the master policy.
