OK I know this comes up repeatedly but just had my Buildings (only, not contents) Insurance Renewal through and I have max no claims discount and yet it's increased by 30%. Meerkat is giving me about three slightly cheaper options.

Any obvious reason for the premium increases which I assume are general in nature and not specific to me ?

I'm with Aviva.

Just got my renewal documents through with an increase of 14% which I thought was steep, 30% is horrific. Reasons I was given for increase were:


1) The amount of cover has been uplifted by 9.5% to keep in line with inflation (last year it was uplifted by 2.5%) to cover increased cost and shortage of building materials and lack of skilled labour due to Brexit and Covid.


2) General “hardening” of the insurance industry.


Do you get your insurance through a broker? On the bright side, I’ve heard contents insurance is going down,

My buildings insurance also increased by about 25%. I used this broker

Academy Insurance Services. 01784 461131 based in Egham Surrey.

Discussed with Ben Jarrett, insurance advisor.

Eventually insured via this broker, having contacted four other brokers, saved me about 15%.

A number of insurers will not cover this area due to Subsidence and Flooding.

Hope this proves useful.

We've had previous subsidence and renewing our home insurance has become something of a nightmare . . . .  . . until I tried this broker. They were very helpful, it was hassle free and I got a very good price -  even 15% less than last year.

    • Maybe if you indicated what you were reviewing, pub, gastro pub, high-end gourmet, local Italian etc. - whatever classifications you wanted, then you need only indicate that your stars referred to overall quality in that category. So it it's pub grub then 5 stars means it's great pub grub, but not the same experience as 5 stars in a high end gourmet category. Your star system could then include implicitly value for money as well.

    • Thanks, it's a real dilemma whether to do star ratings. A few people have asked me to do them but I've tried to resist as they are too reductive - people will look at them and won't read review! and they are difficult too - my last review of Victoria Inn, i'd give it five stars for value for money - how can you knock two courses for £18? – but 2 stars for quality - edible but nothing special. Which I guess is why some sites give star ratings for different things...
    • ok - Jeremy himself is against mandatory vaccines. Is he as extreme as his brother? No? Is it fair to discuss how the overall view of that family would inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic? I would argue very much so
