My buildings and contents renewal has come in - 674.67 p.a. I took out the policy in 2006 & think I pretty much went with default settings, no high value items or away from home cover, that kind of thing. It's for a 3 bed semi built 1920-30. People keep telling me it's a lot so I wondered how it compares with others locally?
Assuming you have a clean claims history and no issues with the property (subsidence, previous structural problems) you should be able to knock 30-40% off that. Have you tried any of the comparison sites? They're all about as good as each other as far as I can see.
Squeaky clean history & no issues with the property. I did a comparison using USwitch which returned only 7 results of which only Ensleigh came in cheaper.. Today I got a quote from Saga whose best online price was over ?750 which included their 20% online discount. They did come down a fair bit when I spoke to them this afternoon, so I'll take your advice and give my current provider a call to say I'm going to them for Ensleigh/Saga.. ;-)
I use a broker. Always use a broker. Every quote they have ever offered have been cheaper than on the few occasions I have tried using a comparison site. And when I found one quote cheaper than the broker, they investigated what was involved and explained that the offer did not include certain aspects of an insurance policy that I need.

The only time I used a broker, I belatedly discovered that the reason the insurance premium was cheaper was because the excess was very much higher, despite my having specifically asked the broker whether it was the same as my existing insurance.


Luckily I was able to return to my old insurer :(

    • 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.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
