Home and Contents Insurance 2022

It actually went down by about €7 this year for some reason, but I'll need to pay more anyway because of

getting work done

I regularly flip between Axa and FBD. Being a 'new' customer each time gets me a quote that's less than my renewal.

OP said 'nothing has changed since last year'. In fact a lot has changed, labour and materials costs in the building trade have gone up across the board.

This is from last October ....

Surveyors in Ireland figures indicate prices nationally jumped by 7% in first half of 2021

I shop around every year and have never got a quote from my existing insurer that is close to the best online quote. So I end up moving because it makes financial sense.

Same cover, same excess, my experience says it's always cheaper to move.

Did the whole call around thing eventually. As mentioned above, our cover (sun insured for) has gone up by 12%

Through AA for the last number of years and they’ve been really good always beating whatever was offered elsewhere.

this year, the renewal after a little haggling was € 15 less expensive than last year.

Yea, we took all that into consideration (plus a little)
