Everything.


To the OP:

As it happens, the insurance company need to be cajoled into doing what
they were paid to do. Letting them bog one down in prevaricative and
ignorant remarks, is only digging one's self in deeper **** with the
*******s.

They have a duty to live up to and you need to know who put out that
false remark in order to follow up their criminal neglect at their head
office. If they refuse to tell you how they jumped to that conclusion
without prior knowledge they aught to have warned you about years ago,
then they are in the **** themselves.

Not that that will help you if you are with a bogus insurance company.

Call in the local papers and Watchdog. Throw bigger **** right back at
the arseholes. Stop them farting on your castle. Rip the *******s a new
one. The engineer should never have added any suppositions in his
report. You might have a small case against him in that if things go
wrong.

In the meantime the crack is going to work its way up to the eaves and
the house will then be being held up by the roof and by gravity. The
insurance people will do everything they can to get out of their
predicament and sending in a loss adjuster was just the start of it.

Think what the term loss adjuster means. They are slime eating hitmen.
Get your own experts in future. You should have insisted on an
impartial expert witness.

You might be able to live with putting lintles in every so often to
bridge the gap and rebuilding the brickwork above each stage but the
house needs underpinning by the sound of it.
