Insurance comparison

Hi All,
I thought I would post to see if anyone has had a similar experience.

In a few weeks my house insurance is up for renewal so I did a comparison only for it to return basically 0 results under £2000. My wife, who is a joint policy holder, did a comparison and it returned a number of companies which were in the hundreds of pounds. Nothing has happened since the last quote to have impacted my insurance. So I’m a bit stumped as to why this would happen.
anyone have a similar experience?
I should also say that I checked my credit file and it’s pretty much perfect (in the 900’s) with no missed payments.

I’m just stumped and pretty concerned as I need to do car insurance this month too and really cannot afford (financially and figuratively) for my premium to increase by 1000% and putting the car insurance in my partners name obviously isn’t an option.

Get your wife to take out the home insurance.
See what car insurance quotes you get.
Your 900s credit score means nothing to anyone.0 -

Did you answer certain questions multiple times with different answers?

How much has your renewal come in at?

The renewal was about £60 more expensive than last year. A little more expensive than that for the quote my wife got from the same company also.0
