Default Whats the point of discussing Sinkhole Insurance

There have been many replies to posts about sinkholes and sinkhole insurance in TV as to what the point is to discussing sinkhole and sinkhole insurance. . The point is that it is a well known fact to the Villages Properties that a tremendous amount of homes that are sold in the Villages can not get sinkhole insurance based solely on there location. If you try to get sinkhole insurance in the Villages your address is entered in to a insurance data base and almost every property is classified as uninsurable. When you buy a home from out of state that information which is known in advance should be disclosed to you so that you can make a informed decision based on all the known facts. It is entirely possible that some people might not have purchased property had they known that it could not be insured for a potentially very large financial exposure. I would like to know what people who have purchased property in the Villages were told about the uninsurabality of there property before they bought the property. The seems to me to be a material fact which should have been disclosed. The Property Owners Association of the Villages has said it has knowledge that people were being told by there sale people that these homes could be insured but when they got here found out they could not be insured. What needs to discussed is what people have been told by Village sales associates about sinkhole insurance. Do people who purchased here feel that there was adequate disclosure of the problem.

I doubt the answers have changed from your last four or five posts on this matter. I, for one, would like to see full disclosure on your beef with The Villages regarding sinkholes.

Your posts are coming very close to libel.

Prospective buyers should certainly know by now that they need to research sink hole insurance before they sign on the dotted line to buy a house.

Prospective buyers in The Villages are all adults--with a lifetime of experience. As such, they should know to do the necessary research prior to purchasing. If they don't like what they hear from their INSURANCE AGENT and not their sales agent, then they can choose not to buy. It's really quite simple. Personally, I don't give it a second thought. I have much better things to do than worry about the "what if's" of life. That's not how I want to spend my retirement years.

in my humble opinion this poster is attempting to get some type of satisfaction for the problem home he has purchased.

I think by posting, he is making an attempt to help other home buyers consider the circumstances he is dealing with when they choose to purchase, which I think is healing.

I feel for there situation and hope he gets the results he deserves and demands.

I got the impression that he does not live in The Villages. You sound like a compassionate person, but this guy does not fit the bill.

It is correct that prospective buyers are all adults, but it is also surprising that people from other states moving to Florida are not all that familiar with sinkholes or the insurance situation in Florida.
