Contents Insurance in ED is Expensive

[jimbo1964]

I'm just getting some quotes for a new contents insurance for a three bed house in ED. My quotes are all aroung ?55 a month which is quite a lot more than I currently pay in a reasonably rough street in SW11. Is ED a den of thieves?

Building insurance is a lot more too. I think this is because of subsidence in the area but I don't see why this should affect a contents policy.

Direct Line is the cheapest so far.

I pay around ?40 per month for combined contents and buildings for a small 3 bed house in an SE22 postcode. Legal & General (I think, the one with the umbrella logo)

The AA quoted us hundreds of pounds less than some others. We paid around ?550 per annum for building and contents for a 3 bed house.

Thanks for the tips. I've just had a much better quote from Legal and General.

I pay less than ?30 per month thru Lloyds TSB as I have an account with them. Contents only though as I'm renting so don't have to worry about buildings insurance.

Also try a quote from ING online. They are/were very cheap (less than ?30 per mth).

When I rang Nat West (my current insurer) to cancel they undercut L&G so I'm going to be paying ?28 a month which is more like it.

I use L&G, alot cheaper than everyone else. Use one of the compare sites there great for it
