    Hi everyone, my first post here :j
    I am looking around to renew my home insurance and so far the best in with THE COOP, the quote is £134.13 for building and contents including legal cover , and they are giving a £50 pounds food voucher ( if you are a member of Coop you get a 5% cash back on your shopping and another percentage they donate to your chosen charity)
    So at £ 84.13 it is a fab insurance to consider:money::T:T:T
    good luck to all x

    My renewal was £750 with Admiral, a quick online chat and that came down to about £680. 
    Looked around the comparison sites and went with More Than for £520 plus a possible £50 cashback.
    This looks terribly high compared to most posts on here, it is buildings and contents and legal cover with accidental damage on both buildings & contents.

    That is very high, I assume no prev claims and not grade 2 listed?

    Have you consider an insurance broker?

    Maybe your neighborhood has been seeing high claims?

    Lots of local friends have similar or higher. Tried a broker who couldn’t match it. Expensive rebuild costs in south-east combined with clay soil meaning the area is more prone to subsidence.

    I just had a renewal quote for £180 from L & G for buildings  and contents, up from £151 last year. 
    I did a quick search on money supermarket as suggested here and can get apparently better cover for less money. Up for renewal mid - July so a few days to decide yet.

    Some of the quotes are from companies that I've never heard of before, so a bit wary.

    I've just got my mother Home Contents cover for £10.99 / YEAR using the TopCashBack compare tool. The policy cost £43.99 and we got £33.00 cashback. It took 8 weeks to show as tracked and was then payable immediately. For a while I was convinced it wouldn't work, but Happy Days. Also managed to save her £300 on her car insurance and also got £45 cashback for that too.
