My home insurance from Halifax has gone from £348 to £536 with No Claims last year.
Cost of living crisis or taking the fucking piss ???

I've just done Go Compare and the same policy with the same supplier is £330.
On the phone with them now
Edit - retrieved my quotes and now it's £418

- still £118 cheaper than the renewal

Spoke to an agent - they "Looked into it" and offered £430
Still up £100 but that seems typical at the moment.

Surely they're breaking the law then? They must offer you the same price or better than a new customer for the same insurance policy.

The claim was I received a "discount" for year 1 but no-one mentioned anything about a year 1 discount 12 months ago.
Why £536 was reduced to £430 in 30 seconds flat for the exact same cover is another question. It's the way these places work I suppose.

I'd have just bought the new policy from go compare and cancelled the old one

Home insurance and car insurance were flat for me this year, luckily. Thinking of knocking the pet insurance on the head though.
