I got one quote, and they worked out the value for buildings insurance based on post code, number of bedrooms and other points. Then I called another broker and she said her firm had to be advised the value required to be insured, as they could not themselves provide any estimate. I kind of had the feeling from them of, take it or leave it!
As I don't need a mortgage and the building is brand new, how am I supposed to find out what to insure it for? I believe the buildings insurance is normally a lot less than the price paid for the property.
