We were about to exchange on house sale and purchase when our buyer delayed things as she wanted to take out home insurance for our house first.
There have been so many problems thus far, I'm tearing my hair out.
We made a claim 2 years ago for a leaking pipe under house. Axa (who insure us) classed it as subsidence as it caused some movement. They fixed it. Job done. Or so we thought...
Our buyer tried to get Axa to continue to insure the house but in her name, BUT because our broker was Northern Rock, Axa won't now sell this product to a new customer. However, buyer has since tried LOADS of other insurers and they are all refusing to insure because we made a claim two years ago. This sounds crazy to me...
...please tell me she will eventually get some insurance. This whole thing is making me so sad...
