I’ve had a renewal notice from Admiral for house insurance that’s increased by £250 !
We haven’t claimed on it this year. Is this normal or should we go through the agony of shopping around?

Shop around for sure

I’ve just saved £105 on my car insurance by shopping around.

Contact them first. Our insurance quote came in at less than we paid this year. Usually they offer a saving of at least £20-£50.
If that fails, then I shop around.

Definitely shop around. It’s only a few minutes to input the details with the big comparison websites.

In March, I ditched Halifax after 2 years, as they couldn’t compete with other providers. They did offer a reduced premium, but that came with reduced cover, which I didn’t want to accept.
