Hi Guys

I hope someone out there can help me please.

I have recently had one of my properties burgaled, of which everything has been stripped form the house, including all of the copper and the bolier.

I have insurance, and the loss adjuster for my insurance company has requested the police reports for the break in.

I made statements to the police, and I have a crime number for th eincident.

The burglary took place in April, and I have been waiting for the police reprts now for 6 weeeks, this seems like an absurd amount of time to have to wait.

I have been ringing my insurance company weekly to see if they have them recieved them yet, as of yet they haven't.

So my question please is how long does this process usually take to recieve the police reports?

Has anyone of you fellow landlords ever had this experience of having to wait for police reports to validate an insurance claim.

And finally is there any kind of official route I can take to speed this process up, in all this case hase been handled really unprofessionaly by my insurers, I am keen to get this resolved, but Im feeling a bit lost about how to go about it now.

Any help or advice would be gladly recieved.

Thanks guys I look forward to hearing from you.

John

I haven't got a clue, what time scale have the Police given you?

I imagine it varies based on the people involved.

Your Insurance company CANT make you wait, and increase your losses waiting for this.

Kick off with them.

Explain your additional weekly costs, and insist they pay out an interim amount to enable you to make good and mitigate your losses.

They will.
