Can anyone recommend a good home insurer that actually fully covers the building and it's contents without either trying to worm out of actually covering it (Admiral) or doubling the premium for only a small increase in cover (Home protect). Most of the others on comparison sites don't give you enough information to tell whether they will cover it or not.

I am only looking for about £50k of buildings cover and £10k contents.

I have admiral platinum which I was assured does what you want, now I'm feeling a bit nervous!
Nope, it doesn't! There is a specific exclusion against it in there.

On the one hand it says this:






But the current admiral platinum policy booklet here:

http://www.admiral.com/policyDocs/HH-007-009-Plati...

Says at page 30:

What is not covered

Theft or attempted theft

To contents in your garage, shed or
outbuildings or kept in the open on the land
your home stands on

Think Directline cover outbuildings it says any garage, shed or building on your land is covered on their FAQ's.
Limited to only £2,500 which isn't enough for me.

Did anyone follow this up with Admiral to check the position?

At the moment I have a £270 policy for £400k buildings and £60k contents

To move to add £40k of garage buildings cover and £10k of contents is doubling, if not tripling the premium. I tried NFU and they came in at £650.
