insurers will no longer be able to make risk ratings based on your age/sex. This is likely to make car insurance significantly more expensive for anyone who isn't a young male

Quite absurd. Still, it should make health insurance for oldies cheaper or won't it work like that? Probably not.bloggoth

Has anyone been able to make a claim on the new house "warrenty". I tried and after two years of being fobbed off the builder just told us that the period had expired now and to claim against insurance.
The problem? Shoddy morter which now means about half my house needs repointing. And its only 12 years old. Not to mention the shoddy work on the roof, and the gutters and more.
What a crock!
The current system really does suck. But...considering that a lot of the insurance companies are owned by banks...I don't expect anything to change. Unless...someone were to set up a insurance union?McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."

Since you registered the issue during the warranty period then the builder can't just ignore it, you've got a clear case of going to law over it. Get some proper advice, perhaps your insurance companies legal department will be of assistance.Originally posted by lilelvis2000 View PostComment

Yeh. They'll pass it to a firm of solicitors who will pass it to their most junior trainee who will pass it to the cat and you won't hear anything for 3 months until you start pestering it and then you'll find out your claim isn't covered for some reason.bloggoth

Parents had am similar problem and included the electrics. Cables were stretched over the attic diagonally, no tacking, no end loops earth missing etc. Obviously from a no qualified electrician, The building inspector has passed it as OK. It would have cost about £10k (25 years ago) to litigate. The answer was to move house.

My insurance company will simply reply with "nowt to do with us". In a perfect world your advice makes sense. but not in a world where council's have been bought out by commercial property developers...where developers are advising councils on low income housing. Its a farce.Originally posted by TykeMerc View PostMcCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."
