Just had a phone call from my broker, re my buildings insurance which is due for renewal
Gave me a quote, slightly cheaper than last year, asked if I wanted to continue. I said I hadn't had tme to compare.
The guy looked for me, same company, exactly the same cover, £120 cheaper.
Lesson learnt always check and ask them to look at other options |

i always change every year.
even if my current insurers show they can do better, its the principal.
they should have offered the better offer first and foremost instead of me having to chase it.
who knows, maybe if everyone did this they would learn, but probably not |

I would have changed but they were the cheapest by a good amount |

see, thats where im stubborn lol.
i would still change even if it cost me a few quid.
like i said, it, to me, is disrespectful to the customer.
i know everyone has to make money, but they make money from selling policies, no matter how much it costs you |

This has happened every time I renew my fixed rate mortgages. They offer me a new rate and when I tell them that I expect preferential, existing customer rates, they say no and are quite happy for me to go elsewhere, which I always do and I've never lost out yet. |
