Storm damage insurance

It's been a stormy few weeks.

Unfortunately my buy-to-let portfolio has not escaped unscathed.

While on the train to London I got Claire one of my more ebullient tenants on the line. She appeared almost ecstatic to deliver the news that one of my coping tiles and several smaller roof tiles had been dislodged.

I've just contacted my trusty roofer Jim who incidentally used to be a Nottingham Forest player just before its heyday in the late 70's.

Now he mends roofs.

I'm hoping that either it's cheap. Jim's normally pretty reasonable or my landlord insurance with Alan Boswell covers at least part of the cost but with an excess of £150 I'm hoping that Jim comes in at less.

Not the best start to a landlord's year but I did have a great couple of days in London - in my opinion the best capital city in the world.
