Hi there - it's time to renew our house/contents

Hi there - it's time to renew our house/contents insurance, and yet again Intasure have bumped up their premium, this time by nearly 20%, despite the fact that we have never claimed, and they have also removed earthquake cover. I looked at the posts here on this topic but they are all rather old now (unless I have missed some). The Trustpilot reviews of Intasure are horrible; does anyone have any recent experience of a UK company providing decent building insurance at reasonable cost?

You may have read one of my posts on this subject from a few years ago.  We used to insure our holiday home in the Garfagnana region with Intasure until they stopped doing earthquake cover in our area.  We were recommended to use Vittoria Assicurazioni by another member here.  We have insured with them for the last three years now (no claims) . They were cheaper than Intasure and it includes earthquake cover!. Their agent is called Filippo Leonardi. I did it all via e mail and paid by bank transfer.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have had a look at their website and as far as I can see they will cover contents but not buildings, so would not work for us. Interestingly they do offer car insurance, which is potentially very useful since otherwise owning a car in Italy is essentially impossible, particularly now we have left the EU.

Sadly they were not interested.....I have tried pretty hard to find alternatives, strangely it seems to be a very limited market unless you use an Italian company, which for various (obvious) reasons I would prefer not to do
