Car Insurance query

I'm 29, single, Accountant (safe job according to insurance companies); live in a nice safe area (my brother lives with me - and his insurance cost is around 2-300) - and i have 7 years No claims bonus; and also no criminal record at all - and no points on my license.
I drive a black golf VW 2011, not modified with only 60k miles.
Why is it that every year i do a confused.com/compare the meerkat or something - my insurance quoted was 900! last year it was around 1100; but this year the cheapest was around 900.
why could this be? how can i find out the source as to why my insurance is too high???
Appreciate your replies; when asking the insurance companies - they gave me the same generic answers that it's a mixture of things.... !!

Are you on the electoral register at your home address? It can make a significant difference if the insurer can't verify that you actually live there.0

Well you've clearly tried a number of permutations so....
what exactly are the differences between your and your brother's applcations? Age? postcode? car? history? etc
List the areas where you differ and you'll narrow down the problem0
