€900 difference in house cover options
According to insuremyhouse.ie — the newest player in the Irish home insurance market and one of the trading names of Dublin-based City Financial Marketing Group, which also owns the Insure My Van brand — consumers are far less likely to hunt out best value offerings for home insurance than they are on vehicle cover, and are paying over the odds as a result.
According to company head Jonathan Hehir, only about one in five homeowners have actually shopped around for their house insurance in the past. He said that “people are less likely to shop around for this product — which unfortunately means that often they are not getting the best value on the market”.
