Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
House insurance almost doubled!
Has anyone else had this happen? My renewal quote has gone up from £700 to nearly £1300 - a rise of 80 percent. All i can get out of the company is that 'methods of calculating risk have changed'...

Even £700 seems a lot - my MoreThan house insurance renewal was sub-£400

I has a (small) subsidence claim in the past, so it's always a bit more expensive.

Fair enough. Interestingly I did too but my premiums never went up - again MoreThan.

I'll give them a try - and others that have been recommended. Definitely can't pay £1300!

a note re insurance for all sorts - don't leave renewing till the last minute. Apparently the best time to do it is 3-4 weeks before the renewal date. Last minute costs £££. It must be that if we are so hopeless at managing dates we are so feckless we are more likely to crash the car or set the house on fire. Or we don't have spare cash to maintain it all.

I recently got a renewal quote from LV that was hefty and probably a 50% or so increase to over £1k.
I went through a few of the price comparison sites and ended up with AA for about £350.

I tried them and they won't give me a quote. AS soon as you mention subsidence this is what happens.

Hi there;
My buildings/contents insurance went up from £1700 to £2450 this year. 🤦♂️ It’s doubled in two years. I got a new quote from Admiral. It was £800. The difference is shocking. I ditched the former company.

I think as they're multi nationals, if they pay out a lot for increased floods and fires in other parts of the world, they increase the premiums in UK also.
