how much is your house insurance

I was contacted by the new insurance company taking over my previous insurers' business as they had decided to stop doing insurance. The renewal price was markedly higher. When I asked why this was I was told that other customers in the area had made claims. I said but I haven't so why is my cost going up? Went with a different company and the price was slightly higher anyway. I think the new company were hoping to keep as many of their inherited customers as possible and charge them a bit more to help pay off the cost of buying the policies?
 
Got my insurance renewal come through from Hastings at £405, up from £254 last year. Quick check online and got it renewed for £208.53 with £35 cashback from Quidco, and I think a £20 Sainsbury voucher.

I always try and turn off auto renewal where possible but noticed I hadn't here so nearly got stung.
