I'm looking for a new insurance company to cover our Thatched Property in SE England. In particular, an insurer who's NOT going to add a premium for using multi-fuel stoves (2)!
Our existing company NFU added an additional £300 (gbp) to our premium stating it was because of the additional risk. I do not think replacing an open fire with a fuel efficient 'Tiger' stove a higher risk.
On investigation, I find that many insurance underwriter are putting thatched properties with stoves in a higher risk category but to date there is NO evidence to support that claim
