Hi,

Anyone have tesco building and contents insurance, and if so any good compared to other companies? I would like to hear from people who had applied online and now into the second year with them, is the second years prenium a lot more expensive? (without first years discounts)


thanks
Joe

Hi-
I had Tesco buildings + contents during the previous year, for 1 bed end-terrace in Berks. It was 145 quid (done online), but if I recall I got a 30 quid cashback voucher. I came to renew last month, the new quote was 156 quid, and I couldn't haggle them down at all, or price match. I switched to Halifax, quote was 115 quid, which included a 50%-off contents special offer. BTW I tend to up my excess a little to get a lower quote. Halifax are my lender also, might make sense for me to stick with them (?).

I don't know if either service is any 'good', haven't made any claims ;-)
I didn't think of using quidco etc, perhaps a saving can be made there too.

Price wise it is competetive but cover is restricted in relation to other policies and customer service is poor in comparison to some. The product is sold on price really.
