[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

What is a good price? Never had to pay building insurance before (living in a flat) Current providers Avivia, who were way cheaper than Direct Line want £39.40 a month at my *hopeful* new place.

Halifax just offered price of price of £27 a month, with no charge for direct debit.

Both are basic policies, with no extras. Although with Halifax I have asked about the garage 

They said tools & parts are covered (as long as its not business use) up to £5k for theft, and unlimited for fire/flood. Also questioned what proof was needed, stated photos and such would help for high value items, but most not required. 

House is 1930's approx, detached in Surrey.

Shop around, Mr Tunnie.

We pay about £150 p.a. This includes both buildings and contents cover.

However,  it does not include any unnecessary 'bells and whistles'......which the insurers love to push.

That's a good price, but very different area.

Will ring around a few companies 

Unless you live next door to me, area shouldn't have massive effect, unless a bulgulary target

Pretty bog standard policy really.

Buildings £1,000,000 and contents £50,000 if memory serves.

Never seen so many personalised registrations in one place before.

Every other Aston, BMW and Merc came with one.

You (and I) seem to have bought in a good area too, the set of 6 houses, of which I have bought one, all sold within 3 weeks.  Market data of the area also showed a modest increase in prices even during the past 6 years
