insurance for woodland owners

[chestnut]

hi guys - my dad wants to get public liability insurance - specific to small woodland owners - does anybody have any contacts please

 

i have tried the links in the trade directory - but none of them can help

 

he doesn't really want a bolt on policy (and his current ins co doesn't do PLI anyway)

 

all suggestions / links would be much appreciated

 

cheers

thank you so much for the link - looks just what we need

If their house insurance is also with NFU Mutual then public liability insurance for woodland will be cheaper than anyone else by a mile.

you recon! i have my work insurance, house, and machinery with nfu, but not woodland cover!

[chestnut]

dad doesn't have house insurance (he lives in a mobile home and they are not easy or cheap to insure)

 

i did contact nfu first off actually - and they said that they couldn't help anyway

can't help sorry, hows things your way though mate. i did a few days for bryan greaves from your neck of the woods recently. is he giving up?

there is a few threads on this site RE woodland insurance (SWOG Forum) , may take a bit of searching though, not sure if RAP is best way forward, my woodland cover is through NFU as is my business cover.

PL as a landowner isn't a legal requirement, weigh up the odds to see if its worth having.

Anyone putting in a claim against you has to prove negligence any way

well i thought RAP would have been ok - but after a short phone call it appears that we can't get any insurance from them as there is a tiny pond on site (it is actually just a big hole where we have dug out gravel - but it fills with water during autumn/winter - so they class it as a pond

 

so it's back to doing more internet searches
