Out house is a victorian red brick in D7..built about 1876 I think.
Lots of insurers wont insure...any advise for best options?
 
FBD, I have insurance with them on 1894 house. Might be a slight hassle but they definitely do insure 100+.
 
Watch out though. I gave FBD a lot of detail about our old house and outbuildings when first taking out a policy with them, most of which when we came to renew, they said they had never received. It did not give me much confidence as to what would have happened had there been a claim, and they refused to renew insurance of the outhouses. I changed to Axa.
 
Most insurance companies will refuse to insure 100 year old + houses unless the wiring, plumbing and roof were upgraded within last 25 years.
