Insurance scam with something missing
I work for a council. I guess you could say the residents are our customers.

One called up last week to make a claim on the Council's building insurance. Their house had burnt down.

I call the neighbourhood officer who tells me it's understood to have been a deliberate fire and that the resident is clearly trying an insurance scam.

The problem with that being that the residents are responsible for their own building cover.

The numpty has torched their own house for an insurance scam without any insurance.

I find that a bit odd
Although we've bought our property from the council, the council are still responsible for the exterior of the building, therefore we do not need buildings insurance, only contents.

Although it might be to do with the fact that we live in shared block where some of the properties are still council owned. Maybe it's different if it's a detatched property rather than a terrace?
