![]() ![]() As I am only a leasehold owner, I am only required to take out private contents insurance, which on review does not cover my door etc. Either way, the letter has gone off today.Īs I am a leaseholder of my flat, I phoned the freeholder and told them what had happened. as it wasn't for anything illegal - HOWEVER as with all things like this she might not be that well informed. The lady on the end of the phone said they would pay for the replacement door etc. I've spoken to the police on 101 and they have asked me to write to their legal division at New Scotland Yard detailing what happened. The officers who broke your door down will have noted the type, condition etc and the police solicitor will contact them to check if they think your claim has been exaggerated.īest thing to do is ring your local station and ask for the contact details which will be a postal address and possibly email, very unlikely that there will be a phone number. It's also worth noting that they will only pay for like for like, so don't have a cheap door replaced with something top of the range, they will decline the claim if they think your trying to take the mick. ![]() It's not a quick process and will be dealt with by the office of the force solicitor. (In your case it's likely you'll have to have the repair done then bill them unless your door is still functioning and you can wait). You need to either have the repair done and pay, then send them the bill, or get estimates and send them in to them to assess. They won't just ask you to pop into the station and hand over cash on the spot though. If they had a court warrant or they did it to arrest you or because you had illegal drugs, property etc in your house they won't pay. The police will pay.Īs above, if they broke your door down in good faith even though your neighbours concern was wrong they will pay. ![]()
