break-in preventing sale

[bdrain8]

I own a property now vacant after a period of letting. It was broken into three weeks ago and vandalised - the damage costing around three and a half thousand based on quotes received. Its sale is due for completion in one week. The buyer has said if I drop price by two thousand they will take house as is.
Does anyone know if I sell the house will the insurance company pay out? I know I would not receive the full quotation value.

Regards

Get yourself a Chartered Loss Assessor.(Yellow Pages) He will sort it out for you. Ok they charge a percentage of what you get paid by the insurance company but your claim isent reduced as much by the Insurance Companies Loss Adjuster. They talk the same language and use the same rules.
