Portsmouth is the UK's only island city, situated on Portsea Island in the Solent. This unique geography creates specific risks: tidal flooding on three sides, storm and salt spray damage, and limited surface water drainage capacity.
Portsmouth's Victorian terraced housing in Southsea, Fratton, and Buckland faces regular escape of water and penetrating damp claims. The coastal areas of Southsea and Old Portsmouth face specific risks from tidal flooding, storm waves, and salt spray.
A Southsea seafront property suffered tidal flooding during a storm surge. The insurer disputed whether the flooding was covered as a flood event or excluded as tidal surge.
High winds dislodged slates from a Fratton Victorian terrace. The insurer applied a wear-and-tear deduction despite the roof having been recently inspected.
Island geography creates tidal flooding risks on three sides. Coastal exposure creates storm and salt spray damage risks. Flat topography limits surface water drainage.
This depends on your policy wording. Tidal surge is typically covered as a flood event, but some policies define flood narrowly. A specialist can review your policy wording and challenge the denial.
Wear-and-tear deductions must be evidence-based. If the roof was in reasonable condition before the storm, the insurer cannot arbitrarily apply a large deduction.
