Moved house recently (bigger but safer one) and contents insurance is up for renewal - currently with Halifax (through the AA) but they have added £ to the premium... 😕
Been with them before but M&S are not interested because apparently in a flood risk area 🙄 (urban environment, more than 400m from a water source)
Any other suggestions? (to include bikes of course)
Thanks

Check the flood plains on the Environment Agency website (they seem to have been updated recently) - M&S could be wrong and might listen.
Greenbee buildings and contents seem pretty good and do include bike cover.
Just gone with morethan and saved a packet. might be pants if I need to claim though 🙂
edit. M&S wouldn't touch us either and were even further from water.
Hiscox, as suggested, is meant as Hi-net worth Insurer - meaning really you need to be rich to require a Hiscox policy.
Try Halifax directly, rather than via AA, where AA are acting as Broker and will take a cut.
Halifax and M&S remain the 2 home insurers which seem to cater to high value bikes more comfortably.
Sainsburys is underwritten by Halifax and I believe has good prices - so also worth a try. Or consider esure (albeit sold by Halifax about a week ago) but again good prices & cover levels.
Oxy - Same here with M&S in a floodrisk area. Went with Greenbee in the end, unlimited contents, £5k max value for bikes outside the home.
£250 cheaper than M&S.
Thanks guys - will try Halifax directly and give Greenbee a try too...
