hi All, I just received a Home Insurance renewal quote from Aviva. Uplift of 35% on last year with no changes made to policy. That's over €150 more. Who is offering good rates atm?

Insurers earn money from investments especially international bonds. These have not performed that well, so insurance in general has increased everywhere.
You also need to check the rebuild value of the house. If it is 400k and you are insured for 300k, then if you do have a claim, even for 10k, it is reduced by the underinsured %

I usually get good online quotes from Axa and FBD. Most years, I swap from one to the other.
