A client approached Brightstar to secure finance for the purchase of a property with the intention of renovating and selling it once the works were completed. Upon completion of the valuation, the broker referred the case to Solstar to arrange suitable specialist renovation insurance.

Solstar reviewed the proposed schedule of works, which were non-structural in nature, along with the anticipated project timeline. Understanding that the client’s goal was to sell the property post-renovation, Solstar approached a specialist insurer with expertise in renovation insurance.

We were able to source a flexible 8-month policy that provided comprehensive coverage during both the renovation period and the anticipated selling timeframe. This ensured that any unforeseen issues during the works would be fully covered, offering peace of mind to the client throughout the project.

Due to unforeseen delays in the legal process, the client later contacted Solstar requesting an extension of the policy. We successfully arranged an additional 2-month extension, allowing continued coverage without any disruption.

The client was extremely pleased with the professional, responsive, and flexible service provided. The renovation was completed, the property has been successfully sold, and the client has expressed their intent to return to Solstar for future renovation insurance needs.
