Home contents insurance advice

[Stan_Lite]

I have decided that it is well past time for me to get home contents insurance.
I have around £8000 worth of computer equipment and work offshore/abroad for up to a month at a time and I worry like mad when I'm away.

Do any of you have good/cheap policies? If so, where from?

Tesco Insurance are looking favourite at the moment at about £134 per annum - unless someone can suggest another provider

Remember, cheapest isn't always best. I use Zurich.

I realise that.

The policy conditions from all the quotes I've had so far have been almost identical (i.e. new for old, accidental damage, laptop cover away from home etc.).

I'll have a look at Zurich, thanks

Not impressed with Zurich - they don't insure furnished rented properties (and their site doesn't support Firefox). They suggested I go to their partners, Endsleigh - I've already had a quote from them.

Any more?

One thing to be careful of is that some insurance companies wont insure you if your way for more than 30 days at a time - could be a factor?

Even if I'm away for a month, there's usually someone passing through at some point whilst I'm away so the flat is never completely unoccupied for that length of time.
