We are an online insurance agent, without the high costs of maintaining a presence on the High Street. The savings that can be made are passed on to you, the consumer, in the way of reduced insurance premiums.
We offer you a choice of 5 brokers plus 5 direct insurers. Each of them offers some excellent, value for money prices on house and contents insurance, and no single one is consistently cheaper than the others. We've tried to point out the strong points of each one, but if you have the patience, we would strongly advise you to get a quote from at least two of them. We are confident that all of them offer extremely competitive quotes.
Norwich Union Direct
They're the UK's biggest insurer, who have gone
through a few name changes in the past couple of years. Originally Norwich
Union, they then became CGNU after the merger with Commercial & General,
CGNU has rebranded itself to become Aviva PLC and now Norwich Union is back
as a trading name of Aviva. One stable fact is that Norwich Union have always
offered top rate insurance products and their home insurance offering carries
on the tradition. Quick, easy quotes, value for money, and a web site full
of useful information about home insurance, flooding, noisy neighbours and
a hundred and one other subjects.

rented accommodation or require a more comprehensive buildings and contents
policy Endsleigh has the policy for you.
Direct Choice
The Internet arm of Taylor Price Insurance Services Ltd.,
an insurance brokerage that was established in 1974. Their online quote form
certainly does ask a lot of questions, but with high Street names such as
AXA, Royal & Sun Alliance, Norwich Union, Legal & General and Zurich
on their panel of insurers, they seem able to provide an extremely competitive
quote in most situations

It's also worth mentioning a couple more web sites that will be of interest to those looking for tips and ideas on how to reduce home insurance premiums and to add value to your home. The first is Survivalist Chronicles which is a huge collection of articles based around the house and garden. With tips on subjects as diverse as air purifiers and blackberry bushes, there's bound to be something of interest to everyone.
The other site that will be of interest to our readers is a "How To" site that has solutions to a number of household tasks such as building a deck, fence, fireplace or shed together with a number of other articles on subjects such as how to make earrings or how to overcome shyness.
We've all found ourselves in the position of having to buy a christmas present for a youngster, be it a nephew, niece or friend of the family. The choice of presents is absolutely overwhelming and it's so easy to buy something that brings an "oh thanks" response rather than a "Wow....that's great". Some of the best selling toys are detailed on the Top Toys website.
