Will Insurance payout?

My dad, silly old fool nearly burnt his house down with him in it, what i want to ask would his building insurance payout? I ask this because i was looking over his policy and i dont see any mention of anything like this.

If they dont payout what would happen to the property and land?

He has tesco building insurance, which i think is part of norwich union.

    He should be covered fine as long as it wasnt arson.

  • You should be absolutely fine with this, a standard buildings policy will cover fire damage.
