Home contents and building insurance (flooding)

dementedmind

Hi new here I have looked over the forum and cannot find anything related to this so here goes.
We live in Carlisle and were flooded on 8/1/2005 eventually we have got everything sorted out with the insurance company at a cost of £75,000 to them. Last year our insurance went up from £350 to £700, which i can understand, but now ready to re-new and they have sent me a letter telling me that i will have an excess of £2500 on a flood, and then a day later my re-newal policy turns up with a they want £1200 this is for bulidings and contents.
So my question is does anyone know any insurance companies that will insure me (including flood protection) as every one i have tried will not give me a quote, and i dont want to pay that whooping amount if i can help it

Your hopefully

Try the British Insurance Broker's Association . They should be able to point you in the right direction.


Somebody will cover you at a lesser cost I am sure.

It's been announced to us in the last few days that household policies will be going up due to Hurrican Katrina, so insurers can recoup the costs of the payout made!!!

It disgusts me.
