Can anyone point me in the direction of an Insurance Broker who could deal with placing a fairly complex house contents policy?

Please don't PM me as I probably can't get to my usual email in the next few days. I can PM you with an alternative email address.

Hiscox. Don't bother with a broker.

Cheers both, I left a message for Hiscox last night as it looks like we get a discount with them via work as well.

Swerni, thanks for the Stackhouse Poland recommendation. They seem really good and are on the hunt for something suiable as we speak.

Hiscox were remarkably poor, the guy I spoke to wasn't interested, quite disappointing really.

Hiscox are certainly worth speaking with although I ended up insuring with NFU (National Farmers Unior. The NFU were very competetive AND you get a proper person at a local office with a local phone number.

I was disappointed with Hiscoxs, I'd heard good things about them but the chap on the phone really couldn't have been less interested.

We had one of those amusing conversations with me saying "perhaps you could refer this to your underwriters" and him saying "yes OK", clearly not bothering to do so and coming back and saying "computer says no" (well not quite but that sort of thing!).

Lynn at Stackhouse Poland on the other hand was interested and keen to find a solution. Still waiting for confirmation of premiums and cover but I'm fairly confident that she will find a solution.

Hi Jon, thanks for your response, I have a feeling the other folks are looking at Zurich PC. I'll wait to hear back from them and will be in touch if I'm still struggling.

Hope the man flu get's better biggrin
