Contents insurance

I’ve just got a quote for contents insurance from Saga. It was £55.94 for a year or £93.11 a year fixed for 3 years. That’s for a 3 bedroomed house, 2 pensioners and we live in a very low crime area.
when I bought my first property it was an ex council flat in SW London. When I asked for a quote (pre internet days) I was told they couldn’t insure me as the flat was left empty all day. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. When I spoke to them again they couldn’t see the funny side of it. I should think most people living in London are out to work all day
I did get a quote from another firm, they did see the funny side of it0 -
Where there many claims from people living in the same postcode as yourself?
That has a habit of putting prices up for everyone in the postcode.I don't care about your first world problems; I have enough of my own!0 -

I got my renewal from Direct line - no increase for 3rd year running so I renewed.0 -
My previous insurer quoted me £129 on the renewal for this year. Told them to foxtrot oscar.Comparison sites were in the £200 area.End terrace, 2 bed and 20+ years no claims.Went with Tesco at £62.11.Similar policy as previously. So no ideas why it's such stupid prices.0
