Home insurance - discuss

[Millionairerow]

How can it go from 43 pounds to 57 pounds in 1 year with Nationwide! Any tips on reasonable home insurance. Need it because WFH full time and condition of employment.

get other quotes.
sounds cheap though.

You usually get a discount in the first year of an insurance policy. I change companies most years after getting quotes from gocompare or similar.

Has the value of your house increased perhaps. Check moneysupermarket - its easy for this stuff!

That sounds super cheap (unless that's a monthly cost in which case it's £££), but just shop around, you can probably save money by switching.

I assume you mean per month. As a PP said the first year is the 'discounted' hook to get you to buy. Move to a new provider

you need to change insurers every year. Loyalty is for suckers now.

Yep special has it. A shame, but that is def the case.

I asked my motor insurance company why my premium had increased whilst I hadn't made a claim.

I was told it was be ause there had been an increase of claims in my area that I was deemed to be a slightly higher risk now.

go online incognito browser, apply for insurance with your company as a new customer
print out the lower quote (it will be)
phone them and make them match it

In my experience Nationwide are expensive. Do a compare the market then check quidco or toocashback for extra savings.

We went with Nationwide for years as we didn't bother shopping around
We moved house (bigger) shopped round and found N/W almost £350 per yr more expensive for the 2 bedroomed house we were in - fuming with myself for weeks!!

Now with M&S

We were 40+ a month with nationwide too. Do a comparison. Now 16 a month!
