The saving was calculated by comparing the cheapest price found with the average of the next five cheapest prices quoted by insurance providers on Seopa Ltd’s insurance comparison website. This is based on representative cost savings from November 2022 data. **51% of consumers who received a quote for Home Building & Contents Insurance through this service provided by Seopa Ltd in October 2022 were quoted less than £189.71. The savings you could achieve are dependent on your individual circumstances and how you selected your current insurance supplier.
