Many thanks Many thanks for the recommendation

Looking for recommendations for someone who can complete a full structural survey, required after subsidence in order for us to obtain an insurance quote. I have seen a few past recommendations but sadly one has retired and another only deals with surveys for house purchases. Many thanks.

Another recommendation for Niko. He visited us twice in one week at short notice to fix leaking pipes. Not only is Niko great at his job, very professional and reliable, always calling when he is on his way, but he is also just the nicest person we have ever had the pleasure of working in our home. Very reasonably priced too. We can highly recommend Niko for any plumbing jobs.

Many thanks. I will give them a try

Great, thank you. I will give them a try

Thanks Lynne. Out of interest was the underpinning carried out a while ago? Aviva were unable to help, even when I mentioned having a survey carried out, as the subsidence here was within the last 5 years.

As mentioned we are trying to purchase the freehold so I would have thought it was pretty obvious we would know if the current freeholder had insured the property! Thank you everyone else for the helpful suggestions.

Not 100% sure of best place to put this so it is under local businesses too - hope ok to post under both! We are attempting to purchase the freehold for our building (two flats in a conversion) so I am trying to obtain insurance quotes in preparation for this. At present the building as a whole is not insured so we would be starting from scratch. There has been recent repairs due to subsidence and underpinning was also carried out over 20 years ago. I have seen a few recommendations on here with some members recommending a different broker each time they respond to similar enquiries. I really want to find out if anyone has actually succeeded in obtaining insurance in a similar situation and any advice or information on costs that might help in my search. In particular did the insurers require a structural survey and if so was this arranged themselves and at what cost. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks

Does anyone locally own a leasehold property and have problems with their freeholder being absent or basically uninterested in the property. This relates to a private freeholder, not Southwark. If anyone is in a similar position or has experience of this please could you message me directly. Many thanks

It is common knowledge, all the local vets are telling owners that there is a sickness bug going round. They carry out blood tests to check for any other causes and also keep an eye on the dogs for dehydration, administer anti sickness medicine etc. Not sure what else the vets can do. I am guessing as a dog owner you'd still be concerned though, hence the initial post. I'd be surprised if the vet in question didn't say that it was likely to be a bug although BillyOcean didn't mention that

I would also like contact details for Jovaner, have been unable to find any other mention on ED forum or online. Thanks
