If you dont ask you dont get though right!? Always worth an attempt,
To summarise everything we decided on taking a small home improvement loan to fix the electrics have the boiler replaced and to fix the damp issues - and then comfort buy to feel better
Great just make sure you get it all done properly and signed off with the appropriate building regs etc.
It isn't going to be that small a loan though is it with a new boiler, rewire and damp problems? Doubt there will be much left for comfort buying.Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy - Anne Frank :A0 -
Exactly. And that's not what insurance covers. Insurance doesn't cover the inevitable result of pre-existing faults. It covers things that go wrong. The shower and its wiring didn't go wrong. They were installed wrong, and that pre-dated your insurance policy. It is not your insurer's problem.We havent overloaded it, it was already sausaged0 -

AKA as insurance fraud in a harsh wind, be very careful to give clear and accurate information. Where there is third party accidental cover, it normally means a person in the insured party's home not the previous owner's bodge or otherwise that may affect you now.0
