Insurer for a new build property.

DCFC79

Im due to complete and move into a new build property next week, has anyone any experience with getting home and contents insurance, is there a particular insurer you went with ?
Ive done a dummy quote and 5 quotes (used gocompare) came back and the cheapest was with a broker, is this standard for new build properties ?

Thanks

What quote has your existing insurer come back with?

First time owner of a property so no existing insurer.
The cheapest dummy quotes I had was £189.85 with One Call Insurance. I did use gocompare and not tried any of the other comparison sites.

You just need to pick a good insurer from the ones which have quoted you. It makes no difference if the property it's older or a new build, only listed properties, non-standard, thatched roof etc will reduce the pool of insurers.

I went with direct line as they do fixed figures for buildings (up to £1m) and contents (either £50k or £75k). Plus they do optional extras like accidental damage, emergency cover etc.

I paid about £220 for a 2 bed, old freehold flat in Scotland and it's my first ever policy.
