    Evening peeps.
    Home Insurance has increased by £60 this year, now over 250.
    Existing insurer won't budge after being loyal for 9 years so I now have the problem of sourcing someone new!

    Any help appreciated please?

    Just taken out insurance with L&G which includes Home Emergency cover for free (you have to tick the box though).

    Went through Quidco Gocompare, then had to put in a claim :mad:
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare
