Hi, I have been informed by my insurance company that my property (which is currently being rented out) can no longer be insured as the address is now deemed high risk for subsidence. When I look for quotes online from other insurance brokers, they all require that I have not been refused insurance elsewhere.
What are my options?
By the way, the original insurance company are obliged to inform my mortgage provider that cover will cease shortly.
Thanks.
 
As a matter of interest, Is your property in the Cork region or is it in a "pyrite" area? Regardless, you need to contact your lending institution and in the event that they can't help, contact a good broker.
 
Hi,
House insurance has been refused for my mom about 2 years ago for reported subsidence in the area... even though no one in the immediate area had this issue, but was reported on the other side of the parish - so blanket ban. She did get cover with FBD & the quote was quite good, so she has stuck with them since... She's living in the Cork area...
