Who sets house insurance prices

There is no fixed tariff for house insurance. The figure is set by the provider's own economics, covering labour, materials, travel and availability, so it varies by company and by season.

Timing your house insurance

For house insurance, same-day and after-hours call-outs sit at the top of the range. A standard appointment booked in advance gives you the best chance of the typical figure.
