A question about : 'Disturbance allowance'

We were flooded in July and were meant to be rehomed, however with two large dogs and thousands of others in the same situation,we were unable to find alternative accommodation.

Our insurer muttered something about financial recompense should we be unable to find somewhere else.

A question about : cavity wall insulation

Hi
I wonder if anyone can offer some advice. I live in an old house (1870) with solid walls and so it can't have cavity wall insulation, but the extension,single storey, that houses the kitchen and bathroom does have cavity walls. Ironically I'm eligible for all sorts of grants as I'm on the relevant benefits but the firms approached so far won't do it because ' You haven't got enough square meterage to justify it and we won't get a grant'

A question about : Sewerage in our house

Hi Everyone I hope someone can shed some light on this situation.

6 weeks ago today a disaster happened in our house. My mum had a bath and let the water go ten minutes later the water was in our dining room so we went back upstairs to find that the shower tray was overflowing with water and excrement onto the floor and into the dining room.

A question about : Cellar flooded with sewerage

Please help

We have been told by our local council and anglia water that we can take our claim no further as nobody is willing to accept resposibillty for our flooded cellar which ruined all my tools approx Ј4,000 (not covered on a home insurance policy)

Our cellar was flloded with sewerage from a blocked pipe on our avenue, probably by one of the main trees which is maintained by the council.

A question about : Environment Agency

Around this time of the year my mister and I have both buildings and contents insurance coming up within a few weeks. Up until now, we have paid for these separately, as they have always come up in two consecutive months.

Although we always independently contacted insurers to find quotes for the buildings insurance, we had a broker who dealt with the contents insurance.

A question about : Home insurance with Flood cover

My first post

I am living in a town that was flooded quite badly a few years ago. Apparently due to human error, a flood gate was not open or shut quickly enough at a nearby resoviour after a period of heavy rain and there was a flash flood which made a right mess!

A question about : Floodplains

Hi - Does anyone know of a good insurance provider that will insure properties which have been flooded. Our house flooded six years ago in the floods which hit North Yorkshire (property previously flooded 50 years ago). We are paying an arm and a leg for buildings and contents insurance. I've tried confused.com and no-one would even quote us any advice greatfully received - thanks
