I have maintained insurance on te property as its in my name.
Now I have got a court judgement to pay the ex off and get her out, the lawyers raised the prospect of malicious damage.
In order to buy her out I will have to mortgage the property and rent it out at least till I can find a way to make a shitload of money. Or sell it.
This however is what the unhelpful insurers say:
"Following our telephone conversation, I have spoken with our Underwriters in regards to your policy for xxxxxxxxx
We are unable to transfer this across to our Landlord’s policy until the property is occupied by a tenant and not by your ex-wife.
I did check the cover we provide and Theft or Malicious damage by the tenant would be excluded under our Landlord’s policy as well. "
I know there are people who rent out property here. Is this normal? If your tenant trashes the place you can't claim?
