SFA & Home Insurance

We have been based overseas for a number of years and are now due to move back to UK for our final posting before Mr Gonzo's retirement from service.

I have heard a rumour that you now have to insure the buildings of your SFA for a nominal amount, 20k ish. Is this true, or just another rumour. Not bothered either way but need to start looking at home insurance policies.

TIA

  • You are right that while in SFA you have a liability for the first £20,000 of the building in the event of damage.

    YOu won't get this through any of the normal civvy companies so your best bet is to stick with a specialist forces company such as PAX, Abacus, Tgate, Forces FInancial - in fact any policy you get through a member company of SIIAP should do you.
