Italian House Insurance

I have a house in Italy and another house in Spain and I can tell you house insurance in both countries was a complete and utter nightmare and very difficult to figure out. Of the two though I found it easier to insure in Spain - Italian House Insurance companies were a complicated bunch to work with and the procedure was very convoluted indeed, which you mention in your article.

In fact at present I have the place in Spain insured with a local Insurance company but not in Italy. We have left the Italian house uninsured which is not the cleverest thing to do I know but I am going to take your advice and contact a UK insurance company. I will let you know how I get on!!!

Maria's Reply: I sympathise with you, it can be difficult. Please let me know how you get on with insuring your house in Italy with a UK insurance company - I am sure you will find it easier.
