Hi All,

Looking for some advice...I'm currently paying ?76 per month for buildings (only) insurance in SE22. This has gone up from ?56 in early 2005. Our house (4 beds, semi) had a partial underpinning in 1991 so when we bought it I went with the same insurer as the previous owners. No probs since 1991. I'm either thinking of writing to the financial ombudsman service about the current price of the insurance, or the alternative, presumably would be to get s structural engineers report giving the OK, and then onto a specialist insuerance broker. Anybody else been through this? Any advice, recommened people/companies and idea of costs? Perhaps ?76 per month is not outrageous for SE22 in reality?


Thanks v. much.

why not just do one of those comparison website things - I have saved a heck of a lot on buildingds/contents insurance. When I have been given a better quote, I have given my existing the chance to match and they couldnt. I admit I kept thinking I had missed something crucial (but hadn't)

I lived in Forest Hill for a while and my property never suffered from structural problems, however, as the area suffers higher than average incidence of subsidence, many of the insurance companies refused to provide me with building insurance. No simple solution other than shopping around but a lot but there will only be a limited number of companies who'll insure you. Sometimes you get a better deal and advice from an independent insurance broker rather than price comparison sites.


Perhaps you could suggest a higher excess limit should subsidence re-occur.


?76 is high but not exorbitant for SE22. I know people paying about ?60 per month with contents insurance included for East Dulwich

    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc.
