Sink Hole insurance denied to re-sale buyers
As a new villager who has just recently purchased a resale home, I was informed by 2 insurance companies that I have a 99.9 % chance of being denied sink hole insurance. The story goes you hire an engineering firm who comes out and examines the interior and exterior of your home. All ok go to step 2. Step 2 they then look at a 3 or 5 mile radius of your home and determine if there has been any suspect activity ( such as St. James Village) at this step 99.9% of sink hole applicants are denied insurance for there pre-owned homes. If your real estate agent is not telling you this you;d better ask up front. Talahassee needs to get involved if this is going on in the villages. Any one else having this problem? Let's get to the bottom of this and see if the insurance industry is acting in good faith and within the law.
