Just saved €350 on house & contents insurance....
What follows is neither rocket science nor is it new on AAM but thought it might be worthwhile as a reminder in any case:-
Moved house about a year ago and in the rush took EBS house & contents insurance (I know, I know.....). Renewed late 2004 - it had fallen to c.€750 so I did nothing and inertia renewed.
In the last couple of weeks have been in the process of moving mortgage to nib's excellent ECB+0.79% tracker (but that's a story for another day) and the manager in nib said she could get me an unbeatable price on insurance.
Before going into her I clicked onto www.123.ie and got a quote - with Allianz (as was my EBS "brokered" policy) for higher rebuild cost than my existing policy (on the advice of the surveyor). Came out at just over €400.
Woman in nib simply couldn't believe it - she was going straight home to move to 123.ie. Apparently Allianz (which is sold by nib) won't give a discount to nib employees because they say that they've knocked down the pricing on nib policies to the bone......
I didn't ever really believe the extent of the rip-off on insurance sold by mortgage providers.
Free money, if you ask me.
