INSURANCE Companies profiteering from "Flood Risks" in Dulwich PREMIUM DOUBLES FOR NO REASON

[Santa Claus]

Our Barry Road house buidings insurance has just DOUBLED due to new “Surface Water Flood Risk Assessment Maps” from the GLA or Southwark Council or HM Govt DEFRA Dept Environment.

Insurers are refusing cover or creaming off huge premium rises hidden behind “global warming” & “climate change” & “mitigation measures”.

With all new techy charts, maps, reports, diagrams, they just demand 40% extra payment with zero ecidence and wrong data, quoting scientific sounding reports & maps & charts which they quote wrongly.  

 Navigating the between the Southwark Council, the GLA, DERA, the Financial Ombudsman and insurance is a nightmare. It’s so convoluted, remote, uncontactable and factually wrong that it amounts to 21^st C PROTECTION RACKET.

Suggestions please or support, to know more, full story + contacts+ organise.

Last month we renewed our building insurance via Swinton, with only a very minor increase. We are also in Barry Road - the only flooding for us is likely to be from a burst pipe/Thames water,

... So a very credible and immediate risk, then...

Maybe point them to the extensive flood alleviation works the council has just spent a fortune installing in the park next to Barry Road?

Copy in the council so they can provide evidence of the efficacy of the scheme they purchased for us .
