Hello, I contacted my insurer to advise them of an extra tenant moving into my property. I was sent a form to update.

The insurer advised me that despite the fact that l have never made a claim, the policy now is that every maintenance or decoration undertaken needs to be reported on my property so it can be added to a Statement of Facts. The written policy l received asks only structural works are reported.

Has anyone else had similar?

If l change a tap or paint a room I need to report it. Not sure what other information they require. But l believe it’s quotes and confirmation of work completion.

Thank you,

Altan
