Worth Shopping About...

Received my renewal for house insurance from Churchill for £552 from £488 :eek: that's just too much

after shopping about for a day or two managed to get a new policy with Admiral for £266

Half price so I'm pleased with that

it's defo worth taking the time out and searching for the best prices :D

    One thing worth checking. Does the new plan cover trace and access? Apparently, many of admirals basic B&C policies don't as this is quite a big area of risk for an insurer. All that glitters and all that.....

    Definitely check that the coverage is the same. If you've gone from a Churchill Plus to Admiral basic then the cover is not going to be the same.

    I'm on the platinum package FutureGirl went over my policy with a fine toothcomb so that I was getting the same level of cover.

    I've got a policy with a local company for my boiler and plumbing as most insurers only offer a temporary fix

    A local company won't be offering trace and access. Trace and access cover is what covers the repairs to your property when a builder has to pull your home apart finding the trace of a leak. These claims can run into thousands and even 10's of thousands when leaks are in obscure places or underground. I'd never even consider a plan without trace and access.
