The short answer
Cut UK home premium by getting an accurate (not inflated) rebuild cost, raising voluntary excess to £500, fitting a BS-approved alarm, joining Neighbourhood Watch, paying annually, switching 21–26 days early, and bundling buildings + contents with one insurer.
- Accurate rebuild cost (ABI calculator) — £20–£80.
- Voluntary excess £500 — £30–£70.
- BS EN 50131 alarm — 5–10% discount.
- Bundle buildings + contents — 5–15% saving.
- Renew 21–26 days early — £40–£100.
Frequently asked
