Quotezone | Gocompare | Tesco Compare Buildings and Contents Insurance Companies and Brokers: Direct Home Insurance listings The primary choice
for most homeowners in this country when they need to get buildings and
contents insurance is to find their cover via a price comparison
system. Of those that we include above, Quotezone is (just) the most
popular here although Gocompare has greater uptake nationally.
We also list numerous direct buildings and contents insurance providers for those that wish to take a look at what these direct home insurers have to offer. For those that are very much budget-focused, a comparison system is a good choice. You get to see loads of prices very easily. For those wanting a bit more and who are attracted to quality brands, then going direct is a better choice. Certainly, we've never seen greater popularity for any of our direct insurance products - that's all of our direct insurance products, not just for home insurance - than that associated with M&S home insurance; so they are a good one for anyone to investigate for buildings and contents insurance, regardless of intial intentions. Actually, we do wonder how helpful it is for UK insurance consumers to be so focused on price when paying attention to what you're getting for your money is a more efficacious way to assess a policy. Price comparison systems for buildings and contents insurance vary as to how helpful they are in supplying this policy information. Gocompare, for example, offers a 5 star system to rate how well policies match your pre-selected buildings and contents insurance requirements. And that's a welcome start. But whether it goes far enough to assist you to make a properly informed choice is certainly debatable. There's nothing to stop you getting more policy details direct from insurers via their websites and, in many cases, we would encourage people to do this. As eluded to above with reference to M&S, you can often get superb cover when you go direct for buildings and contents insurance. And it's not likely to be overpriced in the UK's highly competitive insurance market. Those playing the quality card will invariably easily find what they want via this route and more efficiently. If the above appears to be encouraging greater use of direct services for buildings and contents insurance - and that is certainly our intention as we see quality of cover as all-important - then perhaps those that might otherwise simply use a home insurance comparison system to ge their cover may wish to revisit at least checking out our direct home insurers before making that determination. The choice is yours - you will go where you wish for your buildings and contents insurance - but, as ever, you pay for what you get and you need to be cautious about going too cheap in your policy selection. |
