anewman Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Wonder how many had insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Wonder how many had insurance Not sure that matters, they would only have contents insurance (if they have any at all) as opposed to buildings insurance (with them being rental flats) and that wouldn't pay out until after an investigation is completed, which in this case could take months and months. I've seen some idiots saying they shouldn't be getting anything off the Government (I think they got £5K yesterday) as they should claim on their buildings insurance.....which you wouldn't expect them to have.

As council tenants we can only get contents insurance.The building is the councils so they insure that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter only1swanny Posted June 20, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted June 20, 2017 they were quite fancy flats... a few pics have been released and the ones that had been "done up", looked quite nice.. I'd imagine a lot would have insurance, it's mandatory for rented however I imagine a lot won't have taken it out..as it's never checked...

Site Supporter Spider Posted June 21, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted June 21, 2017 Yet Corbyn was ridiculed for suggesting similar. Can't believe you're making this tragedy political. I was merely pointing out that the authorities have re-homed the victims. Gosh, Traf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank_spencer Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 These properties are social housing stock within a larger development thus completely different from what our IRA loving weasel of a party leader was stupidly suggesting He was suggesting that the large number of empty properties in the area be used as at least temporary housing for the victims of the tragedy. I see nowt wrong with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
