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.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?

      A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post

      I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds?

      Certainly unique, can't argue with that.
