Leaseholder Insurance London Mrs Penny has insured with Property Insurance Centre for a number of years. She was the leaseholder of a flat in North London, and along with the 3 other leaseholders, had formed a management company to manage the freehold. Mrs Penny was on the ground floor of the block of flats and noticed there was blockage in her bathroom. A claim was made to her insurer without delay.

Mrs Penny contacted her broker, Property Insurance Centre, regarding the insurer’s initial response stating there was no cover on her leaseholder insurance policy.

Alarm Types & Their Response What sort of police response should I expect? ACPO (The Association of Chief Police Officers of England, Wales and Northern Ireland), who specify Police Force/Constabulary Service guidelines, introduced a new policy on Police Response to Security Systems in 2000 which was last revised in April 2012 (download the ACPO Policy on Police Response to Security Systems (April 2012)), and since an Appendix F was added in January 2013 (ACPO Policy on Police Response to Security Systems - Appendix F (Jan 2013)). These guidelines (the ACPO Policy) state that the Police Force will only attend monitored intruder alarms that 'confirm' alarm activations, whereas previously, the Police would respond at the first activation without requiring confirmation. Normally, an alarm is considered 'confirmed' when a second detection device is activated during the same intrusion. This verifies that there is definite movement at the premises and therefore there [...]
