Just taken out a home insurance policy with John Lewis at quite a competitive price. Deal breaker was a free Nest smoke/ CO2 detector worth £89 which will be going straight on flea bay!

No issue doing that at all, I do that with all my insurance products usually as its rare for a renewal to cost less than new business, just cancel the direct debit and call them and tell them you dont want to renew your policy, give it a day or so to be safe with the direct debit and then just sign up as a new customer.

Do you have to buy both building and contents cover? I live in a flat so only need contents cover, would the nest alarm apply for just that?

I'm an existing customer. If i go online and apply as a new customer what would happen?
Would it recognise my details and knock me back or accept but then cause a problem in the event of a claim?
Just wondering because my renewal has gone up and would be interested if a new quote would come out cheaper (plus a free nest!).

Always worth reminding people - I haven't used quidco but went through compare the meerkat so got the cinema ticket offer too!

This was posted 3 weeks ago and as a result I purchased the John Lewis insurance as mine was due for renewal. Worth reminding people though so heat added - again!
I missed that post sorry. I also forgot to go through quidco. Gutted now.

Damn, best I've got is £21/month for building only. But I'm a 3 room endterrace. Going to try this, pretty sure theres some TCB too.

states will be dispatched within 60 days of the policy start date - so maximum should be 2 months

Any idea how long it takes for you to get the nest smoke detector as I've already done this ?

I live in a three bed detached house no claims etc and it was £107 buildings and contents for 12 months. Complete no brainer with the Nest thing thrown in!
