When evaluating a new property, it’s essential to be mindful of unconsented work, which could impact insurance coverage.

We recommend confirming insurability before finalising any property purchase, as existing insurance coverage doesn’t guarantee new insurance availability. Feel free to reach out, and we can discuss any potential insurance issues with the property you’re considering.
