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.

    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down!
