Everything is up, absolutely nuts and you'd suspect price gouging explains a fair bit.

Mine was almost the exact same this year, I've a multicar with Admiral for the house and 2 cars. Have you tried them?

House insurance was  roughly the same as last year.

Car insurance was up  a few quid. Not much. But it  had almost doubled  in  2024 from  2023

Rip-off bastards who will then try to avoid paying should you make claim any way. I'm just covering the building now, couldn't afford contents also.

Insurance is only really for the doomsday scenario (god forbid) - a waste of time trying to claim for any contents or minor damage. They feckers will have it off you in a few years with increased premiums if you make a claim. Yes, I understand businesses have to make money, but in the past 3/4 year, they, along with everyone else, have been gouging the f**k out of people.

House insurance nowadays has a load of stuff. Where do you get bog catastrophe insurance; fire, meteorite, volcano; with a big excess and a modest premium. Then if you house burns down you are not sunk, but if a windows breaks you just get it fixed yourself.

Claims are through the roof through because NI is full of absolute chancers.

Yep. Up from 1800 to a quoted 3000 this year. Will shop around but it'll still be a rip off.
