home insurance - who only asks for 3 years history?

Options
I'm looking for insurers who only ask about claims in the last 3 years for home insuracnee if anyone knows any?

Reason is that we had a rather bad run of luck between our 2 flats and got flooded by the people upstairs 4 times in a relatively short period which has left us with some real problems getting good quotes for insurance despite now living in a detached bungalow. Most (possibly all now) of these claims were between 3 and 5 years ago and hence it makes a huge difference if they only ask if you any claims in the last 3 years instead of 5.

I know we can go through the search engines to get a general idea but having to add claims makes it considerably more time consuming to get to a real quote.

thanks in advace

    Just in case anyone else is wondering - direct line also only ask about any claims in the last 3 years.
