What insurance do the current owners have...? If they have fully comp then they must have had a survey for their insurance.

Hi - the current owner has Third Party insurance. Not sure if that was relating to the survey requirements or what?

 

By way of update then because I think it's always good to post up for the benefit of others who may find themselves in the same situation, I think we have a solution.

 

David Mack's suggestion of talking to Michael Stimpson has helped and Michael looks to have sourced the fully comp insurance we wanted, so thanks David for the referral!!!

 

We haven't closed the insurance piece out fully but I think it will be sorted and a weight off our minds. Much to do still i.e. getting our licence and planning the long route home via the stoppages and day to day life commitments, but the 1 - 2 months it will take us to get the boat home fully will be a great learning experience. Can't wait (hopefully)

So, what were the final requirements regarding a survey for 'fully comp' insurance ?

Touch wood the answer seems to be sight of the hull survey and agreement to attend to the priority recommendations within it. A pragmatic and sensible approach I think.
