When my house was burgled, the only relief I had was that I had content Insurance. These people took 6 months to process my case and finally refused stating that there was no sign of forced entry which is ridiculous. I would never ever have any other Insurance with them.

Whilst there is considerable press coverage about banks overcharging I would like to highlight another wrongdoing. Banks and lenders agreed some years ago that they would not force borrowers to take out their building insurance to secure the mortgage, although they have used clever marketing to work around this.

The major issue is that they are mis-selling building insurance to owners of flats, I know this from personal experience and the experiences of a large number of my clients.

The worst case was a gentleman who lived in a flat in a block of 8 - each had their own policy! He checked the policy and found that although the referral was from the mortgage team to the insurance team, they had issued him a policy for a 3-bed semi rather than the 1 bed flat he owned. This came to light when he wanted to let his flat as they would not assist.

If at any point he had made a claim the policy would not have been worth the paper it was written on!

The Financial Services Authority and BIBA back me! The public need to be informed as the implications are huge.

Kind regards,

Neil
