The incident

Escape of water is one of the most common causes of home insurance claims. In this particular claim a washing machine pipe had leaked. This in turn caused a total loss of power in four flats within the block. This meant that the mains power to the entire building had to be shut off, making the block uninhabitable.

How did Lansdown help?

As a claims team we understood the complete urgency here to get it reported to the insurers, but to also provide guidance to our clients, explaining what would happen next, the role of a loss adjustor and the process behind alternative accommodation.

The insurers acted promptly following Lansdown’s report of the claim and the loss adjustor was instructed immediately who then made contact with our client on the same day.

The result

Due to the severity of the damage and the length of time needed for repairs, our client was extremely grateful for the check ins and updates throughout the claim, and as a result we built a great relationship with the client and they felt comfortable to contact us with any query they had, no matter how big or small.
