Home Insurance Quote increase of £550 in 2 days!

Hi,
I wondered whether anyone had experienced the following: I went through a quote for a particular Home insurance provider on Saturday 21/01/2017 and the quote was £142.68, I wanted to check the price on a week day as have previously had experience where the quote turns out cheaper on a week day, for whatever reason!? I did it again today (monday23/01/2017) and it turned out at £678, then £705 (second amount is when I went through the details to check I'd put all the correct information in) I wouldn't have been surprised at some difference but this much! I also went through the provider I have gone with, as well but there was no difference in their quote price.
Anyone experienced this? Or know why there is such a big jump, I'd be very interested to know.
Thanks

    A big change in that suggests anti-fraud measures kicking in. Are you sure you havent changed any details?

    You could try another quote with false name, date of birth (same year, different month/day) and same postcode but different house number and see how that comes out. If its lower, then it will indicate anti-fraud price increase.
