House insurance went up from £288 last year to £369 this year. I called to inform them there’s only 2 adults instead of three at the address and it made a difference of approx £1.50 a month so they knocked off £1.44 for the next 28 days until renewal.
While I was on the phone I asked the very nice lady if she could explain the ~28% price increase. She couldn’t but did offer to look and see if there was any discount that could be applied.
After said discount , and the £1.44 refund it came down to £299.
Happy with that but it still annoys me that they inflate the price in the first place.
We are a little bit stuck with our insurance provider because the house suffered some tree root damage 30 years ago. Other companies won’t touch it because of this but the insurance provider also provided our original mortgage and insured it from day one.
