Barclays Insurance

I have been with Barclays for a few years as they have kept their prices low.

I am about to renew but first I would like to check here if anyone knows of a better deal for my money and policy;

Buildings = £500.000
Liability To Public = £2,000,000

Contents = £50.000 (included is £3000 contents in garage even though I don't have one)

The policy is £22.66 a month to pay.

    Lloyds TSB are really good, went through Quidco and got £120 cash back at the time so it might be worth checking some of the cashback sites for deals.

    I went to confused.com as Quidco didn't really give me any options to click on. Not very clear.

    I got a quote via Confused.com from Insurance4retirement for £238.68 which saves me over £30.

    I wasn't sure what to put for cost to rebuild house so I guessed at £500.000. The house is worth around 90-100 K

    Well Quidco came up with over £600 for the year with both insurances. I think I will stick with Barclays at a mere £271

    I wouldn't base your decsion solely on getting cashback. Sometimes they don't pay out.

    I didn't, I tried a number of insurance companies and Lloyds TSB came out on top, the cashback was just an extra bonus and they did pay out so I was well pleased.

    Where do you live Buckingham Palace....my insurance is £11.71 for buildings and £5.73 for contents each month, with Lloyds TSB. £600 a year is well over the top, who was that quote with?

    All my windows (we inherited them like this) have locks but the previous owners didn't leave any keys. Would you still class this in the application as having window locks?
  • Depends if you want the policy to provide any cover should your home be broken into.

    Assuming the windows were left unlocked and remain so.
