My build has already finished so I am going to have to source retrospective cover.

Just had a quote from those guys, ~£4,500, they are aware of the CRL/Alpha situation...Sennocke are who you get when you go through Buildzone/SelfBuild Zone. I initiated a dispute with Barclaycard over this payment so let's see what they come back with. They were very helpful. On the Alpha Insurance websiteto claim the premium back it says (https://alphagroup.dk/1647-2/): "Generally the Danish Guarantee Fund does not cover premium refunds on the following insurance types: British taxi insurances British insurances on buildings"

This is what seems to happens in normal circumstances but not in this one for some reason. Maybe brokers can insure against this kind of thing and CRL didn't? I've not fully tooled up on this yet having only got the email a few days ago. Others seems to have been notified much sooner in May. First I heard from CRL officially was 13th July 2018. I would be interested to hear from anyone else who only heard about this on ~13th July 2018 L PS I was lwoody on ebuild. I only realised this was new ebuild after I registered.

As a consumer and paying my insurance tax I expect to be protected against this kind of situation.

Yes that's them.

I am in the same position and so is someone else i know. The original price I paid for my CRL Structural warranty was £3,700. CRL have offered a new policy for closer to £5,000. Good tip on the Credit Card payment above...i have a feeling i also paid on Credit Card...UPDATE: I did pay for it with Barclaycard. They are sending me some forms so they can investigate this. L
