Frequently asked questions — Cheltenham

My insurer wants to repair my Regency property with modern materials — can I insist on conservation repair?

Yes. Your buildings insurance should restore the property to its pre-loss condition using appropriate conservation materials. A conservation specialist can specify the correct repair.

My property has been flooded by the Severn — is this covered?

If your policy covers flood and the flooding was caused by the Severn, the claim should be covered. Flood Re may be an option for eligible properties.
