Buildings & Contents Insurance Discussion

BULLNOTBEAR

Just done a quote with Insure Supermarket and gone for a policy with New Homes Insurance.

Insures up to 500,000 rebuilding cost and 15,500 contents. Cost 231.38 with legal protection.

I would persist with the internet quote Dawnylou!!!

£231.... is this an annual figure you pay?
How do I know what my annual figure is?
can't see anything about it in the docs, but I assume we are entitled to it cheaper as since we moved in we changed the lock on the front door, added a second lock to the patio, and had new double glaxed internal beaded windows all with locks fitted....

I am looking to renew buildings and contents cover for my flat next month. I notice each year that not all companies seem to want to take on any buildings cover for a flat. Up to now Nationwide and the best quote at the moment Egg are the only ones I have found. Forgot to mention Halifax too but they are worth forgetting about at a quote almost 3 times more than egg. I have 5 years no claims too.

Any suggestions

Thanks in advance

So me and my partner pay £26 a month with Select & Protect for buildings and contents.
It covers us, I believe, for £50K for building & £15K for contents.
Is this cheap?

We are really new to this....
lol.

I tried to get an online quote but, erm, I got a bit lost... lol

My partner & I pay select & protect £29.86pm for buildings & contents. I'm gonna shop around & see if I can get it cheaper for this year.

Hi all, this is my first post and sorry it has to be a moan!!

Does the insurance supermarket work??

I have tried several times on several different occasions to get home insurance qoutes and a get nothing... am i impatient?? Does it take ages to load??

Get to the processing qoutes page and the bar never fills up... yet the bottom of the web page states: done!!

Which do i believe??

Have used the breakdown cover section no problem though!! Please help!!

Ps Brilliant website and thank you to everyone who has put a post up, you have saved me a fortune!!

Got my 15 quids worth of M and S vouchers from Chase Templeton today ;D, well pleased with them.

Just in the process of doing my life insurance with them too, they are gonna save me around £90 a year, which over a 25 year term is a pretty big amount.

Very pleasant to deal with and no bloody menu system lol, anyway just thought I`d update you on the M and S vouchers, they do take a while to come but he did say that thier brokers have to get paid first so thats why.

Great site Martin youve saved me loads already..cheers

i used to do the insurance search manually, choose 4/5 companies, then phone around.

used the insuresupermarket web site, found a company, that was £250 less than my exisinting renewal, got a quote from them, compared line for line with current policy.... one small change, but still saved nearly £200 per year.... and i thought my current company was competative...... just goes to show.... search hard enough and you can save a small fortune

now insured with 'New home' insurance

the extra £17 per month, is being paid of my 12 month 0% balance transfer with barclaycard......

Hmm. I paid £360 in February for my home insurance (inc buildings and contents). Now I've found out I could have got it for £220. Would it be worth cancelling my current policy and starting another one now or should I just bide my time until it finishes? Any thoughts? (or is it obvious?)
