Just asking.............

I would assume this is a yearly cost? $156 per year seems inexpensive.

Is this cost based on the price of a home?

For us wannabees. Wouldn't it be prudent to put this item on the list of inspections before buying a home?

Something from Sunday school kept nagging at me about where to build a house..

I looked back through our records for our H.O. insurance. Adding sinkhole coverage added 19% to our total premium cost this past year. Taking that into account, our total premium for this coming year has also increased an additional 17%.

This is an example of a reverse sink hole.

When I asked our agent about this, she stated that all eight companies she deals with are no longer providing sinkhole coverage for homes in Marion County because of extensive losses in the northern portion of the county.

Has anyone else run into this same issue? If so, has anyone found a solution?
Same for me in Sumter county...........

Are there any lots available with 'catastrophic ground collapse'? I was thinking of building a home with a basement (hurricane shelter) or swimming pool.

Default Hello

Ahhhhhhhhh Hello Mr. Mtg company I'm stopping over today and giving you the keys to my previous home now a Hole.

Won' t be making any more payments for awhile. It will take you three years to close on the rubble.

Thanks so much for the non insurance coverage. It's all yours now!

After performing extensive scans and investigating we are able to confirm that there are no issues with TOTV and the issue reported was not originating from TOTV.

This thread has been reopened.
