Angel BCIS Reinstatement Cost Assessments FAQs
For Angel (rebuild cost survey): Are all Angel homes above commercial premises?
In Angel, No. The cited council passage describes particular mixed-use conservation areas. The actual address may be in a residential terrace or a different block. State the building form and floor arrangement instead of treating the local example as a rule for every purchase; across Angel residential buildings, professional fees in Angel and VAT are itemised (Angel fee guide: from £450 plus VAT).

For Angel (insurance reinstatement assessment): Does a whole-building refurbishment statement explain a previous leak?
