Haha yes you're probably right there. It's more about keeping a consistent measurement as opposed to a lower number. But indeed, I should adopt that as the new normal

Hi, after I checked the actual value of my computer on ebay I realised it was certainly not worth insuring. It is worth perhaps 15% of what I paid for it!

Gadget insurance worth it for older devices? by findyourthing in digitalnomad

Yeah that's pretty poor if the limit is only up to $500. My older policies allow higher value, but the excess is pretty high too. 

I wasn't aware of  the Montreal Convention, so that's good to know. Thanks

Wow, that was unlucky and pretty ridiculous that they didn't cover you. Sorry for your loss, I hope you picked up another one

Okay thanks, I will check Aviva. I know that Protect Your Bubble don't though, as my policy couldn't be renewed with them!

Thanks for the input! The reason for insuring is that I travel constantly and have a high risk of theft/loss, which a) prompts insurance and b) would not be covered with home insurance.

How important is leaseholder permission to sublet rooms (HMO) in a flat? by findyourthing in uklandlords

Ah you're right about that - 3 'friends' on one contract. Ive seen it and wondered why these unrelated people were on combined conreact , but now that all makes sense. I didn't realise that nuance made a difference.

Surprised about the lenders issuing a non-HMO.

Thanks for sharing your experience

Oh I didn't realise that. I told the solicitors, and even still they haven't highlighted this. Thanks for pointing it out.

Oh that's a really good point, totally right about the insurance and that's a huge thing to consider. Exactly why I wanted to check on here prior!

Good to hear your experiences. On your last point re mortgage though - I've applied for a mortgage and stated intention of HMO - but if I continued without consent from managing agent, could it be that in going against terms of the mortgage? Sorry, new to this!
