        Insurance company shouldn't have accepted them in the first place! Can't have it both - happy to take peoples cash for insurance against unforseen events, but when the unforseen events happen they refuse to pay up!

        They're expecting cover for something they don't pay for. Insurance company not at fault here.

        It may be harsh but that’s the risk you take buying a property on the cliff side.

        its like people who live near volcanoes cause the land is fertile or near rivers no one can protect themselves from nature but saying that i guess the insurers knew that and allowed them to pay premiums dont defend insurance companys that can effect us all they should not have

        If those exclusions where stipulated in the insurance companies documents before they bought then they haven’t got a leg to stand on

        Which they are. I doubt they even looked at the policy exclusions when they got the policy. If they used a broker it should have been pointed out.

        Insurance companies, take your money, increase your premiums annually, do everything they can to avoid paying out. Legalised thieving. They need sorting out.

        Thick bastards take out insurance that doesn't cover coastal erosion, then expect a payout when their house is damaged by coastal erosion.

        Insurance companies find any excuse not to pay out. Sometimes wonder why bother.

        Insurance companies are thieves and anyone working for one is a thief.
