how much is your house insurance

[JustBen]

in the process of moving to a bigger house less than 200 meters from the sea... gone from 180 to 310 so quite happy with that. They did quote more so i just checked on comparison site and looked the cheapest big brand and gave my current insurer that quote. They ended up a few £ more expensive still but i don't mind. saves any hassle.

Each item on its own is easily replaced for not a huge amount of money, but replacing everything in one hit is going to sting a bit...

Last year £120
This year £160

Bit of an increase, I'll have to try and barter them down some as well but doubt it will be under £120 this year.

I'm not going to admit that my first reaction was to ignore all the toys laying in the huge puddle, but to find "Cookie, Destroyer of Man Caves", check her over for any injuries and then sit in my chair, having a cuddle for a good 15 minutes, as all the nasty ""What-Ifs" ran through my mind.

As much as this insurance claim is going to be, it'll be nothing compared to what the potential vet bill could have been...

£198 buildings & contents on a 3 bed semi , we've had subsidence in the past so adds a bit to the quote and a hefty £1k for excess on any subsidence the joy of old coal mines

I rang them up and they discounted back to a bit above £120, Policy Expert silver cover.

Not bad, can live with that!
