ausibattler Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 We have learnt to our financial disadvantage that under French law unless the agent/broker is advised 2 months or more prior to renewal date the insurance is automatically renewed - pay up or else"We are about to sell the property??

Pickles Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 IIRC, the timescale is dependent on the insurer actually telling you what the new premium will be. I stand to be corrected, but isn't it the case that the two months' notice cannot be required if the company has not written to you with the renewal premium?RegardsPickles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 The 'new premium' notice period applies only to policy renewals. If cancelling a contract for any other reason, e.g. moving house, the two months notice applies. Though as you say you are selling the insured house, the insurer may agree to cancel the contract on receipt of evidence of sale - ask the insurance agent you normally deal with.Will (who spent nearly all morning in a local insurance office while various paperwork was being attended to) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
