Yes some worthwhile suggestions there, yes Frankly, the insurance company who turned us down suggested that Franklee, I thought it would be difficult to find as we are talking about going back 40 years, but there again I have six months to wait for the monitoring to be done and maybe the insurance board is the way to go.
Thanks for all the positive suggestions.0 -

I would check with some insurers - we are buying a house where the barrel bay is built on insufficient foundations and has "settled". This is different to subsidence and, if it has not occurred in the last 10 years, is insurable.
Our buildings and contents insurance will be £350 which is high because of the age of the house (circa 1825).0
