narion Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I hope this is ok to post here. We have had a break in at our new house and have had the bathroom suite that was waiting to go in stolen. Its likely been stolen to order but if theres a chance we can find it its worth a shot! it was stolen from a house in Crookes either Saturday or Sunday this last weekend. We can't afford to replace it so can't move in until we save up for another. If you see anything or hear anything please message me, we just want it returning so if it turns up, no questions will be asked. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narion Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 It was in the house we haven't moved into as yet, there's a lot of work still ongoing. The alarm was on, but we presume it was one of the tradesmen as they got in and disabled the alarm. There was no forced entry either. Any insurance company would not count it as a theft as they had the access Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, then make a claim. If not, then why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milquetoast1 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I'm guessing that if the house was unoccupied it's unlikely to be insured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliceBB Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I'm guessing that if the house was unoccupied it's unlikely to be insured. OP's comment in #3 suggests otherwise. However, if not, that was madness. An unoccupied property is a bigger risk than an occupied one and should be insured from Day One after completion.

milquetoast1 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 An unoccupied property is a bigger risk than an occupied one Which is why standard house insurance cover does not normally pay out if you leave the property empty for more than 30 days a year.
