Back in the summer my next door neighbours set their house on fire. As they were massive hoarders it took several hours and a lot of water over severa.days, to put it out. My house and property suffered a lot of smoke and water damage. Fortunate I was fully insured.
My contents insurers sent in their loss adjusters and their team photographed and cleared out a lot of my water and smoke damaged contents. They left me lists of everything removed, carefully documented and told me to expect an offer in a few months time, around now. Instead yesterday I got a call from their senior loss adjuster, asking where my claim was. He said I have to claim and then they decide what to offer. How does it usually work?
