83 year old Mother has just bought a flat. I am trying to arrange insurance for her but was told by the Halifax they wouldn't insure her as she was in a high flood risk area. The flat overlooks the river but has never been flooded and their is a fund to maintain the sea wall in place. Who can I go to - she only needs contents insurance as the rest is covered by the factors

To save time phoning around, probably best to speak to a local broker, as they should know which companies will quote for Contents Insurance in the area she lives.
Check local yellow pages or search using BIBAThe comments I post are personal opinion. Always refer to official information sources before relying on internet forums. If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.0 -
Try Aviva or a broker local to the flat (not Swintons)0
