I had an excellent experience with…

I had an excellent experience with Surex, thanks to Dayana Nuñez. She was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient throughout the entire process. She took the time to answer all my questions, explained my coverage options clearly, and helped me find the best solution for my needs without making me feel pressured.

One thing that really stood out was that she speaks Spanish, which made the entire experience even more comfortable and stress-free. It's a huge advantage for Spanish-speaking clients.

I highly recommend Surex, and especially Dayana, if you're looking for outstanding customer service and a smooth insurance experience.

Ashley was so lovely!

Ashley was so lovely. It is my first time owning and registering my car for insurance. She walked me through every step of the way and helped me get the best price. She is amazing at what she does and I will be telling people to go with Surex from here on out. Thanks so much Ashley. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Condo Insurance in Nova Scotia - What You Need to Know

The average price of condo insurance in Nova Scotia is approximately $26 per month. However, you should note that the rates listed on your condo insurance quote may differ due to several unique variables.

No, condo, home, or tenant insurance is not mandatory in Canada, although the condo association, or the owner of the condo, may require you to have to move in. You also need insurance to secure a mortgage to purchase a home or condo. So, even though it is not legally required to have, there are other outlets that may require the homeowner to purchase it.

If you own a condo or rent a house or apartment, some landlords may require tenants to have tenant insurance before moving in and condo corporations and lenders may require condo unit owners to show proof of insurance before moving in as well.

There are a few factors that determine your monthly condo fees,  they include:

  • The size of the building (a larger building has more owners to share the cost)
  • The age of the building (newer buildings may have lower fees)
  • The amenities 
  • The neighbourhood

Condo building insurance is different. This is purchased by the condo corporation to cover damage to the building and the common areas and liability on the property. This is usually included in the monthly condo maintenance fees.

No, you cannot negotiate condo fees. And, they are never optional. Even though you move into a building with a pool, but never expect to use it, you still need to pay for its upkeep.
