We are attempting to buy a lovely house. Our buyers are in place, we are waiting to exchange. One of my final jobs was to organise insurance for the properties. So I called our insurers and asked them for a quote.
They won't cover it - flood risk.
So I called the insurers who currently insure the property.
They won't insure it - floor risk.
So we phoned a high risk insurer and guess what?
Yup, they won't cover it because not only is it a flood risk but we are planning a loft conversion and they don't cover buildings where work is being done.
ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHH I have viewed 45 houses, this is one of three I liked, one decided not to sell, one went into a mad bidding war and went for £100k over asking price and this one now is uninsurable.
Fucksticks.
That is all.
