Hello to one and all. We bought a property in Marche in December and we are now trying to work through the various prices for renovation. Although habitable it needs a fair amount of work and we are amazed at the prices being quoted.
Just to let you know that we have now received our insurance offer from Italian broker and we are in the midst of trying to translate it but it looks to be very similar to those already agreed, so should be fine.
Thanks again for all your help and support and to everyone on this forum.
Thanks again for all the info. We are actually out of the UK at the moment with lousy internet connections and at present Richard can't access his email account so not sure if we have received a reply as yet. At least we have cover with Intasure at moment so once we hear from broker we'll follow your idea. Hopefully Intasure will change their underwriters next year.Will let you know how we get on but thanks for your help. Val
Good to hear you got your insurance sorted II Roseto but sadly we haven't heard anything yet. We had to insure with Intasure again but we have a 30 day cooling off period, in which to sort out another insurer. Still hoping we will hear something soon. Val
Thanks so much for your reply and reassurance. We will wait for his reply but in the meantime we'll insure with Intasure and then hopefully if he comes through, we can cancel and go with your broker.Thanks again for all your help. Val
We contacted the suggested broker on Friday and he replied with numerous questions to which we replied but have not heard anything since, despite emailing him today urgently, as our insurance runs out at midnight. To make matters worse we are out of the country from midday Thursday for 10 days. Have you had a suitable quote from him and if so how did you pay him, as money transfer would take too much time. It looks as if we will have to insure again with Intasure and cancel if necessary within the 30 days. Val
Thanks so much for this information, it will save us a lot of time and like you I think we will have to insure again with Intasure, while searching for someone who will insure for earthquakes. Once you have made a claim within the last five years,as we have done a number of insurers will not consider you, even though our house is far more able to withstand any future earthquakes than it was previously.
Yes, we did manage to get some quotes but it was unclear if earthquake covered and to be honest for the price we doubted it. We'll try again and try to actually talk to customer service but not easy from Uk in our fairly useless Italian.Thanks for all your suggestions.
Has anyone found a UK or Italian insurance company who covers for earthquake damage. Still can't find anyone and need cover from 28/11, getting desperate.

Have completed form on line but result doesn't state it includes earthquake cover. We tried to email them a number of days ago but still no response.
