Mumsnet Votes in Please - whos the best for buildings insurance...

[fio2]

bearing in mind the fact I have owned my own house (with mortgage) since I was 18 and have never claimed. I have never sorted it out myself before, just left it to the mortgage company but my mum has pushed me into having it seperate this time......so opinions please

ps mum thinks direct line are the best, is this true?

try charcolonline and check out their comparison....its so dependent on area/house etc...

northern rock or direct line

Was with More Than (AKA Royal Sun), but Tescos are lots (30%) cheaper and cover us for more......

BR

Frizell undercut everyone else we tried by a HUGE margin.

Liverpool Victoria came out by far the cheapest for us.

Just realised they are part of Frizell too.

direct line v good - I use them for everything. Only company I've used who have a real person on the other end of the phone and not that awful voice mail

Abbey National v good, competitive and v helpful with claim for sudocrem on landing carpet

For my area (S london)I found the Pru to be the cheapest after phoning about 20. Also do a good combined one with contents,v good re claims.

Thanks everyone I see there are quite few votes for the same companies. Still havent sorted it out but will get on the case now!

I found Halifax to be the second cheapest for me, much cheaper than my other quotes. The cheapest was a company I'd never heard of and they sounded like they'd only give bare minimum cover whereas Halifax gave more than I needed for a good price.
