Told my insurance company that our rental property down the country had now been unoccupied for two months and it didn't look like we could get any tenants. They said they would have to review the terms of insurance.
They sent me a form which arrived two days later and said it had to be in by the 18th. That's fine and we sent off the form express post on Friday. However, in the form they said they wanted photos of the house. I told them we were going away this weekend and wouldn't be back for a week so we couldn't get down the 100 miles to the house to take photos. They said if we didn't have the phots by the 18t they would cancel the insuurance.
I am quite shocked at this. The house was described in the form. It is nothing unusual. It is semi-detached, built in 2005, or ordianry brick construction, in a village, so not remote etc.
Is there anything I can do. I have sent off the form but am unable to get down to the house untill next weekend when we are back in the country.
Years ago, I know if you were with an insurance company and the house became unoccupied, they had to cover you for fire damage to the building, though not for contents, does this not still stand? Can they hold me to ransom for not sending the photos in for a few days?
