Someone's confused about something!
I'm beginning to wonder if they've got us confused with someone else.
You sure you have got this right?Just had our renewal through from John Lewis and it's gone up £125 to £1,685 for the year!
I wouldn't mind a couple of quid but, considering we've never claimed in the three years we've been with them, that's taking the piss! Think I might have to look elsewhere for a better quote.
Between that and his council tax, I think you might be right....
I can send you the email, if you want. Whilst I live in a third world Marxist dictatorship, I can read & write remarkably well.
If the promulgate hike is correct and my maths is half as good as I think it is, council tax will be £2,726.50 next year. We have the fourth highest council tax in the Soviet Republic of Wales.
We have a couple of items that bump up the policy. I'm gonna ring them and see what's going on and then get a separate quote for the other items and another for normal buildings and contents. I had to take out this policy when I came home from Singapore and didn't have time (or, more truthfully, couldn't be arsed) to shop around. This will be the second renewal but I'm beginning to think they're taking the piss now.I'm with Beaker
What you're quoting is what my parents were paying when they were ripped off by age concern.
They'd taken out home insurance through them thinking they were getting a good deal and then didn't change it for years.
They ended up paying per month what I pay per year.
I've just had a renewal quote from direct line for 270 I think, up on last tears 240 but they told me not to worry as they'd auto renew.
Rang em up and told them I wasn't going to pay anyone more for anything this year as I'd had a pay cut.
Also pointed out that I explicitly told them last tear not to auto renew.
They immediately offered a price £1.00 lower than last year.
Told em I'd think about it but highly unlikely in view of their attitude with auto renewal.
Tried that and the cover is more expensive than my renewal for my items plus buildings and contents. Looks like I might not be getting burned after all.
Mine's a 2,700 sq.ft five bed detached with garage. I've just had a separate quote on my 'items', all of which have to be individually valued, and the quote for them alone came in significantly more expensive than my renewal.
I am guessing the specialty items are watches but whatever they are they must be worth a few bob to justify such a large premium, just a thought but wouldn't getting them of the property and into safe storage at a bank reduce the premium ?
