Hmm, So renewal came in , up $450 from last year so approx 30%. I then did a quote with the same company, it asks who current insurer is and i thought I was sprung but put in their details and the quote came back for exact cover at $150 less.
Looked at 4 other places including bank I am with and minimum $750 more .
I read horror stories where costs have doubled or more gone up to 10 times if in flood or bushfire zones . $700k building and $250K contents and its $135 a month... $1k excess
