I thought we had been with the same inc co for the past 30+ yrs, but my disabled wife informs me The Economic was absorbed yonks ago and she moved to something called Admiral after a micro clause wording tussle with Churchill and the ombudsman. She is the lawyer of the family (ex-treasury) so I...

My substantial house stands on land that also has several types of detached outbuildings scattered over it. My building structure ins covers the house and all of my outbuildings (inc my workshop/barn) on the same policy. Strangely thought, fences are only covered if damaged by the same...
