I recently purchased a flat (3 story building) in Melbourne with a owners corporation in place.
I am due to settle in 4 weeks. Before I move in, i intend to get content insurance and not house insurance (as advice by my solicitor). Solicitor said damages will be covered by owners corp.
BUT my friends have told me if a fire has broken out from my kitchen and damage the walls inside my flat, I would not be covered by owners corporation (as the walls are inside my flat).
Are my friends right or the solicitor is right?
What should I do?
Thankyou
