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.

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
