About Property Damage in Northampton

Property damage claims in Northampton

Northampton's property damage profile is shaped by its position in the Nene valley, its Victorian and Edwardian housing stock, and its rapid growth as a logistics hub. The Nene creates flood risk in low-lying areas.

Northampton's Victorian and Edwardian housing in Abington, St James, and Far Cotton faces regular escape of water and penetrating damp claims. The River Nene creates flood risk in low-lying areas. The rapid growth has created new-build developments facing defect issues.

Frequently asked questions — Northampton

My riverside property has been flooded — is this covered?

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

My insurer applied a wear-and-tear deduction — is this fair?

Wear-and-tear deductions must be evidence-based. If the pipework was in reasonable condition before the failure, the insurer cannot arbitrarily apply a large deduction.
