Page 1 of Contents insurance required - advice please

Last week moved into a shared house and have my own, large bedroom.

Currently I have no contents insurance and would like to take some out.

I`ve looked at websites for all the majors companies (MoreThan, Norwich Union, Churchill, etc) but none seem to be able to meet my needs on their standard online forms.

Basically I need the contents of my room insured against fire damage and theft to the value of £8,000. There are three other bedrooms in the house, four other people, but they will not be paying towards this policy and therefore I would like thier possessions and (if possible) rooms, etc discounted.

Is there anyone in the insurance business or the know who can give me any advice?

Many thanks in advance.

Yes, get one the decent bolt ons like legal expenses insurance which can be a god send if you are unlucky enough to need to take anyone to court or a tribunal.

And get new for old cover.

I remember when I lived in rented accomodation sharing with 1 person, various companies would do online quotes, but 2 they wouldn`t, they did if you phoned them up though.

So unfortunately you may have to phone around to get quotes. If you`re living with strangers, rather than mates Mike`s suggestion could b v valid.
