However, help is at hand from specialist insurance website www.protection-insurance.com with their one-stop solution for people who experience difficulty in getting household (and motor) insurance – a ‘Problem Insurance’ helpline which can help, however diverse the nature or circumstances of the quote.
Jason Hulott, Development Manager at www.protection-insurance.com says: "Property inheritance is getting more and more common, yet finding an insurer who will provide cover for a property that is unoccupied for more 30 days’ can be difficult – and expensive.
"This also applies to people having major cosmetic alterations to their home – most insurers really don’t want to touch your property with a barge pole as it is deemed as too great a risk. They either refuse you cover or load up your premiums to an unacceptable level.
"However, we specialise in the more ‘unusual’ insurance and can help. All the quotes are dealt with via the telephone, meaning we can offer a personal, one-to-one service whilst getting the best price on ‘difficult’ insurance.
"Buying insurance is not much fun as it is, but it is made worse when you are turned away by every insurer or broker you approach. We believe this new helpline will take away the insurance misery many people find themselves experiencing".
