CC45 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Hi, Site insurance due for renewal on 25/10/17. Last year a 12mth policy cost £590. This was with Selfbuild Insurance - Godalming. Policy actually with Zurich. What are others paying? Anyone with a suggestion regarding alternative brokers. Need to get the renewal done by Wednesdayvreally.

PeterW Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Have you started building ..?? Unlikely you will get a new supplier with a part build - it’s a bit of a monopoly out there ..!! A few have had good results with Sennocke - they are behind BuildZone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC45 Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 Yes, we've been at it for 2 years now. Another year or poss 18 mths to go. Ok, if we need to stick with the existing one then fine. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpmiller Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Local brokers- Kerrs- quoted me through "Selfbuildzone.com" and they are offering cover by Catlin underwrtten by Ageas. Might be worth a try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Harris Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I found that I was locked in to one self-build insurer when I tried to renew our original policy. There seemed to be a bit of a scam going where once one self-build insurer has given you cover, you can't switch to another insurer; as soon as I mentioned the previous insurer I was told to renew with them and that the other companies wouldn't quote. It was either a stitch up, to keep you paying a high premium, or it was because all the companies I approached were using the same underwriter. After half a dozen goes I gave up, reluctantly paid a small fortune to renew the existing policy and vowed never to do business with Buildstore again.

ToughButterCup Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 This year I have made a successful claim (thanks to @JSHarris , @Barney12 and others) . Given that the modal price for SB insurance seems to be about £600 ish, let's try guessing what my renewal premium will be..... £800? More?
