Our Community Cares: Selling up

Community member Cheryl wrote to us this week asking for advice:

My elderly mother is on aged pension and I am without income at moment, and we are in the process of selling one house and buying another. We need to obtain insurance for the house only. I went on website for over 60s, completed the application for the quote, only to be told they couldn’t help me. So where does one go now? Back to the sharks?
