Sounds like it wasn't false economy at all; they simply didn't get round to sorting out the buildings insurance. It seems they bought the house with known subsidence issues, and problems with the insurance then; but went on to spend a stack more on doing the place up before getting round to applying for a new policy (which apparently they had done, but it hadn't been processed... methinks possibly posted on the day of the storm??!) Stupid buggers indeed. Oh OK, poor stupid buggers. David |

On Sat, 09 Dec 2006 12:30:07 GMT, a particular chimpanzee named "."
randomly hit the keyboard and produced: http://snipurl.com/14mze false economy, try harder to buy one that has no 'issues' poor, stupid, buggers. Avaricious, conniving insurance companies more like. They cherry-pick applicants, weeding out those whose houses had 'a history of subsidence', even if the houses have no continuing movement or have been underpinned. -- Hugo Nebula "If no-one on the internet wants a piece of this, just how far from the pack have you strayed?" |

I had a burglary within a week of moving to a new house. I had
buildings insurance from the moment of ownership - but had only arranged contents insurance over the phone - I hadn't actually posted the cheque. The insurance company (Standard Life) honoured the verbal contract made over the phone and paid out without quibbling (and I was perfectly clear with them that the cheque hadn't been posted at the time of the burglary). |

But the checks aren't very thorough. Even if they had issues with subsidence, they could have insured with an exclusion relating to subsidence. |
