He had recently spent a lot of money on completely renovating and converting the flats when the sewers backed up and flooded all of the basement flats. Obviously Mr B was anxious to fix the problem as quickly as possible so that he could lease his flats, so he contacted his insurance company. Mr B's insurance company told him that the accident had occurred due to poor workmanship during the development of the flats and that they would not be paying out. **How our loss assessors resolved the claim** Mr B was adamant that his development work had not caused the damage to the sewers and pursued his insurance claim with AKA MI Claims. Our loss assessors investigated the work done to the flats during the development and discovered that the fault lay with next door and their sewers. **The claim was settled at a total of £60,000** ### Request a call back [![Flood and water damage ](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/147641/7c6fd50f-5a74-4262-af6f-107f6304781b.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/147641/7c6fd50f-5a74-4262-af6f-107f6304781b) [![Fire and smoke damage insurance claim](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/147641/5d0c16c8-524d-4a07-aa53-dc0f01e05119.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/147641/5d0c16c8-524d-4a07-aa53-dc0f01e05119) [![Burglary or theft insurance claim](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/147641/a3b9211e-ad39-40fb-bc3e-0e723b9271e0.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/147641/a3b9211e-ad39-40fb-bc3e-0e723b9271e0) ### Quick Links - [Home](https://www.akaclaims.co.uk) - [About Us](https://www.akaclaims.co.uk/about-us) - Household Claims - [News and Advice](https://www.akaclaims.co.uk/blog) - [Case Studies](https://www.akaclaims.co.uk/case-studies) - [Contact](https://www.akaclaims.co.uk/contact) - Business Claims - [Landlords and Lettings](https://www.akaclaims.co.uk/landlords-and-lettings) ### Useful Links - [Brighton Loss Assessors](https://www.akaclaims.co.uk/brighton-loss-assessors) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.akaclaims.co.uk/privacy-policy) - [ATOM Feed](https://akamiclaims-co.hs-sites.com/blog/rss.xml) - Site Map - [Resources](https://www.akaclaims.co.uk/resources) - [Client Login](https://www.akaclaims.co.uk/contact) ### Connect With Us - [![](https://www.akaclaims.co.uk/hs-fs/file-20850189-png/images/template/icon-social-facebook.png) Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/pages/AKA-MI-Claims/161139897252651) - [![](https://www.akaclaims.co.uk/hs-fs/file-20850188-png/images/template/icon-social-twitter.png)Twitter](http://twitter.com/#!/lossassessors) - [![](https://www.akaclaims.co.uk/hs-fs/file-20850197-png/images/template/icon-social-linkedin.png) LinkedIn](http://akamiclaims.co.uk/?__hstc=214394952.c42269677a9fb9593fa2135bfac9de34.1458538959304.1458538959304.1458538959304.1&__hssc=214394952.1.1458538959305&__hsfp=2387495220) - [![](https://www.akaclaims.co.uk/hs-fs/file-20850182-png/images/template/icon-social-youtube.png)Youtube](http://www.youtube.com/akamiclaims) ### Company Details Allsop Kane & Allen Ltd Half Crown House 26 Old Steine Brighton East Sussex BN1 1EL Tel: 01273 670 006 Copyright © 2018 AKA Claims Ltd.
