Home Insurance - I Don't Normally Check.

planenut · 13th October 2020, 09:28

Normally, I just accept that my Home Insurance comes up each year, is not too painful to pay, and if there's a problem, after disputing their commitment, one would receive something.

It was a freephone number to check so I could afford that, and the chap on the other end, once I'd got passed those annoying "drop down menus", was very helpful.

I explained that having received the renewal notice, I went online but could not find details of the "new cover opportunity".

The upshot of it all, is that the new "opportunity" gives me less cover on each thing, so after going over my present cover, cutting out two needlessly covered items and explaining that my home actually had one bedroom less than I was covered for, I came out paying less this year by 20%. I'm happy.
