Default House insurance, Buildings+Contents - Who's best?

My renewal is coming up soon and we're moving house around the same time to a bigger place so premiums will go up.

Who uses who for a good deal just now?

I just booked online with Zurich, big discount for doing it online and it was cheaper than the rest by a mile, I have lots of extra off-site cover for jewelery and my bikes and accidental damage too.

We got ours through Elephant.co.uk. They beat everyone by quite a bit. Think it's with Legal and General.

Yes, can confirm it. Used to be with DirectLine for car insurance - they were good with getting things sorted out quickly when someone hit my car!

Best for what? Cheapness or to deal with? From my expierience with the flood dmage works we are doing, Legal and General are the best to deal with...should you ever need to claim.
