My House Is Over 150 Years Old, Has Had Subsidence In The Past Where Can I Get Buildings Insurance??
Question by Clare D | Posted in Insurance
No one wants to insure me for buildings insurance as my house has had subsidence in the past, no evidence of it moveing in the last 70 years. Insurance companies will insure for contence though, there must be someone out there who has had the same experience. How Do I get insured? - even the morgage company wont insure us. Please help any owners of old homes :-)
Answer: My house (built 1872) has suffered past movement, and we had major problems getting insurance. The previous owners insurance company would not insure us either, so we personally went to a broker (didn't do it over the phone), Swinton, and they did all the work for us and found two or three companies that would insure us. We had to send a copy of the surveyors report from when we bought the house, that said the movement was 'past movement' and not ongoing. It was a nightmare at the time, and we probably have to pay a higher premium than other people, but at least we have insurance! I know exactly how you feel!
Does Your House Need 'buildings Insurance' If It Doesn't Have A Mortgage?
Question by John Conway | Posted in Insurance
I know it's handy if you have a fire etc, but is it a legal requirement?
Answer: Buildings insurance is not a legal requirement unless you have a mortgage or loan secured on the property. However, unless you are absolutely penniless, it is sheer stupidity to not insure your property. Buildings insurance is more than "handy" in the case of a fire etc. Can you really afford to walk away from the property without getting a penny for it? If you can then you have enough to afford the insurance and don't need to risk doing without.
