Has anyone  got a recommendation for travel insurance? We’re going to Australia for around 3 months & are trying to work out the best insurance.

We’re 60+ and one of us has a health condition (CLL) but it doesn’t need treatment & we’re both in good health apart from that.

The quotes I’ve received so far are around £1000  which is more than the flight!!!

Each policy seems to offer something different so any recommendations would be helpful thanks.

Try Saga and Age Concern for recommendations.

Google - plenty of companies out there  - some banks I believe offer travel insurance as do credit cards.

If you have health insurance they might be able to help or try that  avenue - actually thinking about it as I am of a similar age, with various health conditions when I went to USA pre Covid for a month - was around £400/500 but that was yearly - so guess if there are two of you, maybe it is correct. I use to when I travelled to USA cover my self to the hilt as well as repatriation to UK if I got too ill.

      Damp cellar floor is it a problem

      By Bumpkin · Posted

      We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
