An e-mail received from a Wraysbury resident

 

Dear Mr Larcombe

 

Having had 2yrs of large increases on my house insurance I thought that I would see if there was a more competetive quote around.

Since 2003 I knew that insurance companies were tightening up on flood areas but I did not expect the following:

Norwch union-----------refused to quote on flooding post code

More Than---------------         Same

Tesco-----------------------        Same

Barclays------------------        Same

Churchill----------------         Same

Esure---------------------          Same

Prudential--------------           Same

AA-----------------------            Same

Lloyds TSB------------            Same

 

I could go on.

After 2 hours of endlessly speaking to insurance companies it became obvious to me that just about all major insurance companies will not take on any new customers with my post code.

So if you still have flood insurance be aware that changing could put you out in the cold.

I predict that in not too many years all houses with Wraysbury post codes will have no flood insurance.

For this I beleive we have the E.A to thank for their total mismanagement of the Jubilee river in 2003.

Regards,

Wraysbury Resident.
