Hello,
I am looking at buying a house. It was built in the 1820s, is protected and has a leak in its felt roof. I intend to fully replace the roof (new timber and slates).
Problem is, no one seems to want to insure it. Depending on the insurer they walk out at "protected structure" or at "leaky roof".
I need the insurance to get the mortgage.
Have anyone come against the same issue? Do you know of an insurer / broker who would take this on? Would I then need an engineer report?
Thanks a lot
