Are there any mandatory insurances?

There are 2 insurances that the Bank demands whenever financing for house is requested, Life insurance and Multirisk insurance.

Life insurance ensures the payment in case of death or permanent invalidity of the insured person. Multirisk insurance ensures that the property, besides the fire coverage (mandatory by law for all houses in regime of horizontal property,for the autonomous fraction as well as for the corresponding share of common areas), has a wide range of aditional coverages that ensure a bigger safety level to the property and to the insured person (examples: Flooding, plumbing malfunction, theft, civil responsability, amongst others).
