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 :roll: - still £118 cheaper than the renewal

Spoke to an agent - they "Looked into it" and offered £430 :roll:

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 :lol:

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