In a significant advancement for the strata insurance sector, insurtech company Cohabit has unveiled a digital platform designed to streamline the insurance process for strata schemes.
This innovative solution allows property owners and managers to review and compare insurance options tailored to their specific buildings, leveraging comprehensive building data to facilitate informed decision-making.

The platform offers several key features aimed at enhancing transparency and efficiency. Users can benchmark premiums and coverage against comparable buildings, track renewals and policy details, and access expert guidance. This approach addresses longstanding challenges in the strata insurance market, where opacity and complexity have often hindered property owners from making well-informed choices.

Eleni Svinos, Cohabit's Director of Insurance, highlighted the transformative potential of the platform: "With CohabitInsurance, we're bringing the process into the digital age. By combining live building data, benchmarking, and expert support, we can help strata schemes make more informed insurance decisions and better understand the risks and costs associated with their buildings."

Currently, the platform hosts data from over 50,000 building profiles across Australia. CohabitInsurance is set to be rolled out to strata schemes, owners, and industry partners nationwide, aiming to provide every building with a digital identity that brings clarity to critical decisions, including insurance.

For strata property owners and investors, this development represents a significant step towards demystifying the insurance process. By offering a user-friendly interface and comprehensive data analysis, Cohabit's platform empowers users to navigate the complexities of strata insurance with greater confidence and transparency.
