Granny Flat Update



I noticed I still get a heap of hits on this blog, even though I haven't updated it for over 10 months, so here's the latest. We are STILL currently being processed by the insurers. They have been very good, it's just with the number of disasters in Queensland this year, getting quotes and specialists takes a long, long time. Since January, I think I've researched and learnt everything about the insurance and building industry than I ever thought I would. It's been a great learning experience, if nothing else, but things are starting to get a little frustrating.

On a positive note though, despite the timeframe, I'm in no doubt that in the end I will get absolutely everything I'm entitled to within the cover of the policy. In fact I was in a position to settle in late February, which I rejected as I didn't think it would adequately cover the rebuilding to the standard that the home was pre-flood. Instead I engaged a number of consultants and specialists (at my own expense) for a second opinion. This has been accepted by the insurers and they have reimbursed the cost of the specialists. So everything is going as well as it could.

Will try and post updates more often.  In the meantime, any comments/advice on the rebuilding process would be greatly appreciated....just DM me on Twitter.
