I am currently selling a home. I bought in 2012 and had no issues getting insurance. The current buyer can not get insurance because of the age of the home (85 years). The owner before me was a do it yourselfer and updated the plumbing and wiring. It all inspects good but there were never permits pulled. Any advice on finding an insurance company that will insure? Also I think I know but why did I have no issue in 2012 and now the new buyer is getting hoop after hoop to jump through?
There are certain companies that have to take him in FL, like Citizen's. It may be the case that the buyer cannot find affordable insurance if it's located on the coast and needs wind. There are a few good programs for Coastal properties here, the buyer just needs to find a good broker.
