 Home insurance - Buildings and contents
|
|
Home insurance, otherwise known as Buildings and contents Insurance in Ireland is widely available - BUT it also varies widely in cost.
It is tempting to just renew your current policy but that convenience can cost you dearly. Insurers rely on you taking the easy option.
The Irish Financial Regulator published a survey of Home Insurance costs in 2006. It showed that, for comparable cover: |
- Buildings and contents insurance for a typical 3 bed bungalow would cost 58% more from the dearest insurer than the cheapest!
- For a 2 bed apartment, the difference was even greater at a whopping 111% more - that's well over twice the price! |
