Oops

Hi

A large house has collapsed in London.

I do hope they were insured well.

Insurance Companies can get quite good at not paying out, especially if the rules have not been followed.

Re: Oops

A very costly mistake, if they had not got planning permission in place.

Or maybe they wanted to rebuild and this was the way to do it.

Re: Oops

Love reading the comments.

Looks like it's not the owner who needs the insurance but the building contractor?

Re: Oops

Hi

Depends on the arrangements I would think.

If the owner was contract managing the job himself and had not put the notices in he could be in trouble.

Definetly an oops moment !

Re: Oops

sumfink doesn't smell right.

I'd bet.....if I were a betting man...that this was no accident and a way of getting around planning.

Re: Oops

Is this the £1m house that collapsed following basement works? Yes, deffo an oops moment.

Re: Oops

Builders paddy and Murphy were supposed to be doing a loft conversion, only they had the plans upside down!!

Re: Oops

Lol... naughty

Re: Oops

Stupid people, but as mentioned by Shirley, maybe they do want to rebuild it in a different way.
