Thank You

Didnt realise the price difference between shopping around and just leaving the mortgage provider to sort it out. Better late than never :mad:

hmm - makes a big difference. When we moved here (almost 5 years ago) we were quoted just under £80/ mth from our then insurers (our mtge co) and got it for £32/ mth for buildings and contents instead. Several insurance claims later and I've had to stay with the same insurers, who are now quite expensive. However, having had almost 2 claim free years (touch wood!!) I'm hopig I can get a better deal elsewhere (and cashback!!) this year when I come to renew..

It certainly does and we have a "free" £25 extra per month going on overpayments.

Good Luck when its your turn :beer:

Hey MOOC thought I would drop in and say hi back! Your doing really well i'm well jealous at how low you've managed to get your mortgage! I know what you mean about the insurances, I was signed up with L&G by my mortgage advisor when I first got my mortgage and as I didn't really have a clue what they were for I carried on paying over the odds for about a year and a half. After a bit of searching around I saved around £50 a month on ASU & Home Insurance!
Ps Well done on the stars !

Thanks Danny

Even though we have a relatively small mortgage it is not going down fast enough as far as I am concerned. The difference in insurance prices was certainly an eye opener. Good luck on your mortgage free journey.
