Insurance on property being renovated

My advice would be to take out standard home insurance and then notify them when the works are taking place. It is advised to alert your insurance company of the works but the company carrying out the works should have adequate insurance to cover any eventualities whilst on site.


From my experience your insurers will check the cover the build team have in place and should then advise you where you stand and if any further is required.


My advice is to read the small print!

We did something similar fairly recently - we went with the insurance offered by the same company as the mortgage (as they had surveyed/valued the property anyway) and they allowed a 'renovation/vacant period', for us 40 days was enough, for a slightly increased premium, but nothing unreasonable.


Speak to the mortgage company about their insurance would be my advice.

    • Whatever you think about Trump or Lowe or any other politician is entirely irrelevant to this topic.  You don't need to keep bringing up their politics or how much you hate them because it's just not pertinent to this discussion. 
    • Was the white powder any good?
    • “You are advocating that their failure to be impartial is justified because you disagree politically with the people they are inaccurate about. ” im arguing no such thing.  I saw lowe’s comments misreported by several news sources and then in saw the corrections and apologies roll in.  Correctly  I think you will find everyone gets misreported.  Pretty frequently.    but whereas I think Badenoch is as mad as a box of frogs and a bad leader of Tories or starmer is not up to the job of leading the Labour party  I think they both fit under the “norms” of political life and they tend to run with the punches a bit more  Trump and Lowe are not just people I disagree with.  They are  fundamentally anti-democratic, racist pathetic men who should have no proximity to power - they also should not be misreported.  But they do have thinner skin  (something they share with say, Corbyn) 
    • Has it  been more  of an absolute shambles ever since the council took back management?
