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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
