A Time of Magic

We’re in the midst of a claim for the house insurance and finding that the policy might not be quite so good as we thought it was.

One of the issues we have is that they’ve hiked the excess ten-fold. Yes, it’s ten times what it was a year earlier. Net effect of that is that we find that we’re paying quite a significant chunk of the cost of the repairs ourselves and it’s not quite settled yet either. It’s that bad that in our last chat with them I was very close to telling them to just cancel the policy.

Whilst I’ve not, yet, cancelled it, I am definitely looking into an alternative home insurance quote at the moment. This time I’ll be taking a close read of the small print for sure.
