Late renewal quote

Hi,
Currently looking to renew home insurance due 27 February. Have done comparison sites etc but was waiting for current provider esure to send my renewal quote.
Contacted them to be told it wouldn't be sent until 14 days before renewal date!
Queried why not sooner as this restricts my options on comparisons. I was met with no explanation and that they would remove automatic renewal if I wasn't happy with that.
Anyone else had such short notice of renewal?
Looks like I will be changing provider

Just go on their website and see what they would quote you as a new customer?0

You still have 14 days to get other quotes....
Don't be fooled by the best time to get best price. Do you really think that given how well publicised it is that Insurance co's are not aware of it & it makes no difference, or even cynical would say that they charge more 😶🌫️Life in the slow lane0 -
The regulations only say it has to be a reasonable time before renewal, it isn't more prescriptive than that. As such it tends to vary between 14-28 days0
