I am renovating a property which at the moment is unoccupied.
I would like to have building insurance but am having difficulty obtaining
this as it is unoccupied.
I am there every day working.

So I'm looking for insurance companies that would take this on.

Go to an Insurance Broker rather than direct to the insurance company.

I was arranging a mortgage on a simalar property with Nationwide, and they
quoted me for the same situation no problems!

So it is occupied... by you, you eat, drink and work there, the only thing
you don't do is sleep!(unless of course you take a siesta)

I second the local broker, I insure bike, cars, house (well I do now.. but
thats another story!) and they were better than online quotes with the
advantage I can go in and see someone face to face.

That may be true, but the Insurance Company will probably see things
differently, and it's your duty to advice the IC of any material facts that
might reasonably affect their assessment of the risk.

Of course it isn't occupied, in insurance company terms.

Had the same problem while administering my mother's estate. Forget which
company I found, but ISTR the premium was bumped up 50%.

Usually the people who you have your own current house insurance with will
do it - CIS did it for us and when chatting to the lass on the phone, she
said that it's normal for others to refuse but existing company to accept.

In identical circumstances I used http://www.ukinsurancenet.com/

Policy was underwritten by Ocaso. Not particularly cheap, for sure, but
not as bad as most and at least they didn't impose all the damned fool
exclusions that several other outfits did.

Can't really reccomend them unreservedly as I never had to claim on the
policy, but had no problems with them otherwise.
