I renewed with AIB recently after much discussion and negotiation. I ended up paying about a third more than last year.
I found it quite difficult this year with insurers bringing in conditions never raised before. A lot are insisting on a tracker but I will be in Spain at the renewal date. Some wouldn’t even quote because I’m in Spain on the renewal date. And some won’t allow me to use the storage facility we’ve used for almost 10 years.
All our insurances have gone up considerably this year, and I think if you can get less than a 50% increase on last year, that’s about the best we can hope for.
