I'm a tenant in an unfurnished house with ALOT of stuff. I want to get contents insurance as at the last count our possessions came to £8K at a "new for old" rate. With having a young child and an IT Technician we really need some sort of insurance due to the computers that appear here to be fixed and doting grandparents/aunts

Is there any particular company that you can recommend? I haven't got an up-to-date figure on our possession but will be compiling a complete inventory before Xmas (part of my Xmas preparation which I do each year, plus it gives me a chance to de-clutter and then sell un-wanted/out-grown items on ebay for the money)

Also am I better going for "new-for-old" cover or the other one?

Please help as I really want to get this sorted!

Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.

Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
