Home insurance advice

Options
I don't know if this is the right forum, please move it if it isn't.

I have home insurance with Santadare and I pay £15 a month for it, have had a letter saying it's going up by £1 in February. Can you tell me if I'm paying too much, or should I check for a better deal?

I'm not sure how to do this because of my learning difficulty.. :(

    Comparison sites are a good way to go. I paid under £100 a year for buildings and contents insurance. (3-bed, not that much stuff).

    Hi,
    Between £10-£15 per month is a reasonable deal.

    Another £1 not the end of the world.

    Depends on the amount of cover etc

    Do a quick search, see if you can better it, for similar cover.

    Hi thanks for your reply. I rang them up this morning and it covers contents and accidental damage including my camera and laptop. some said it would be a good idea to cancel my know how insurance on my laptop, as it is already included in my home insurance. can you tell me if this a good idea, or should I stay with know how?
