    More Than are a highly regarded insurance company with one of the best claims records out there. That goes for both trading names they use of "More Than" and "Royal & Sun Alliance". Many will recognise the R&SA name from old.

  • Thanks for replys, So even though im a first time Home insurer who would you say is best ?
  • I'm a FTB, as is my sister and we have both gone with Halifax, and you get that key recovery thingy too which is goo if like me you lose your keys often! Also, even if you get cheaper quotes, ring them and haggle, it does work.

    I'm with the Halifax too & have been for quite a few years now. Even though I do shop around for other quotes before renewal I've never had any other company come anywhere close to their quote.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
  • Ive just signed up with esure which was the most competitive plus £70 from quidco!
