Long-Term Maintenance Plan (LTMP)
A Long-Term Maintenance Plan is a 10-year forward-looking maintenance schedule that body corporates in New Zealand must establish under the Unit Titles Act 2010. It records the building elements requiring maintenance, expected cost, and timing, and informs the long-term maintenance fund.
While the LTMP is a maintenance — not insurance — document, insurers increasingly review it during underwriting as a proxy for how well the body corporate is governed. A well-maintained LTMP, with funds reserved against it, tends to attract more competitive insurance terms because it signals lower latent claim risk.
Common gaps that insurers flag: outdated valuations, no provision for cladding/weathertightness remediation, and underfunded reserves relative to plan items.
