Ours doubled, so we shopped around and managed to find cover for half the previous cost.
Comparison sites are your friends. And re-entering details will make you think about what you really want/need to cover and how.

I did this with the same outcome. Half the previous cost for the same cover (on paper) with a 4 star Trustpilot reviewed provider, not that it really matters but made ms_com feel more comfortable switching. Annoyingly, when I was going through the online "I don't want to renew" tool with Halifax, it IMMEDIATELY dropped the price to slightly less than I was paying before (still way more than switching), which makes the rise seem even more arbitrary. Profiteering cunts.

Home insurance provider is quoting £507 for renewal, up from £273 last year. Other providers seem similar. Am I missing something or is it normal for this to have nearly doubled?
