How much is your buildings insurance?

[EATmum]

I've just had my renewal for our buildings insurance through, and for a 3/4 bed house they are charging us £1019 per annum. That seems incredibly high to me, and I am going to call them later. I had noticed that my direct debits had seemed higher recently, but I'm suspicious that this has crept up without me paying attention in recent years.
Please do share if you are happy to do so. Thanks.

We did a comparison site this year as we have been with L and G for 10 years,and do check most years.We were quite shocked when everyone else was quoting £300 plus extra to what we pay . Its remained fairly static at £400-450 for the last ten years on large 4 bed detached period property for buildings and contents, with one claim. In our case loyalty has paid off.

We moved from l and g and halved our premium on 3 bed detached house. The person we spoke to was lovely and apologized that they couldnt compete with the other quotes we had. I had been with them for years as i had a discount at one stage because i had worked in the insurance industry when we originally joined l and g but premium went to over 300 in the end. Same cover now is £180 with policy expert and has been for 3years
