We are attempting to purchase the freehold for our building (two flats in a conversion) so I am trying to obtain insurance quotes in preparation for this.

At present the building as a whole is not insured so we would be starting from scratch. There has been recent repairs due to subsidence and underpinning was also carried out over 20 years ago.

I have seen a few recommendations on here with some members recommending a different broker each time they respond to similar enquiries.

I really want to find out if anyone has actually succeeded in obtaining insurance in a similar situation and any advice or information on costs that might help in my search. In particular did the insurers require a structural survey and if so was this arranged themselves and at what cost.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

  Try Mind and St Christopher’s - they generally accept such items, if bagged. There is a large bin at the car park of The Plough but it’s often full (despite my calls to the number provided) and some (on here) have said the organisation has links to certain charities/groups that one may find troubling. (Please do your own research. I cast no aspersions.)

  However I don't understand how I could check if the SSD is detected without being able to see anything on the screen? Or how I could run any diagnostic tools without being able to see anything on the screen?

  I just want to say how lovely the staff are in Kanella & Co, particularly Juan who is so upbeat whenever you go in. He has a smile and a kind word for everyone. I watched him today chat with an elderly lady who was on her own and he had her smiling and laughing in seconds, that kindness and taking time with folk goes a long way to brightening the greyest January day. Alex the owner too is always so charming and friendly. Long may they continue.
