Bus/Financial - Insurance
French term or phrase: dans tous ses éléments
The entire sentence below is found in an insurance policy. It is talking about coverage.

Votre immeuble dans tous
ses elements.
* Terrains balls ou non
∗ Piscines en durs
* Cours de tennis
* Vos biens mobiliers


*All elements of your
building
* Land with or without
constructions
* In-ground swimming pools
* Tennis courts
*Your personal property


Elements in English does not sound right here. I'm thinking more like "aspects" or "components".

Any suggestions?

your property and its contents
Explanation:
That's what my insurance policy says. To avoid repetition of property, you could translate "vos biens mobiliers" as "your personal effects" - ie everything you'd take with you if you left.

disagree  Chris Hall: "Equipments" is never ever pluralised in English. Should always be "equipment" which is incorrect here anyway.

What Does Building And Personal Property Coverage Form Mean?
The document that details the provisions of a type of business insurance policy designed to cover direct physical damage or loss to a covered commercial property and many of its contents. The form defines what property is covered (e.g., building, fixtures, personal property), what property is not covered (e.g., cash, animals, contraband), what types of losses are covered (e.g., fire, vandalism), additional coverages (e.g., debris removal), exclusions and limitations, insurance limits and deductibles.

Dans tous ses elements
Your building and all its facilities


Explanation:
This would cover tennis courts and external swimming pools. A component of a building is generally understood as a doorset or window, a brick, a sheet of plasterboard, a steel girder etc.

Unfortunately, the useful word "appurtenances" cannot be used here, because when applied to landed property it means servitudes, easements etc.

disagree  MatthewLaSon: How are "vos biens mobiliers" facilities? "Vos biens mobiliers" would be things like your furniture. Things as such wouldn't be considered as "facilities" (unless I'm really not getting something). I think "all the building's property" is the idea

  -> They may or may not be; they require a separate term. A garden bench is a facility, whether or not it is fixed to the ground. However, if it is fixed to the ground it becomes a "fixture" (and remains a facility).

neutral  MatthewLaSon: Property can also include "personal belongings". See my link above. Not sure I agree fully with this translation. "Property" seems to be the standard industry word for "dans tous ses éléments", imho. Have a nice day.
