We use Ocasa. They seemed quite reasonable.

The proof of how good they are is when you need to claim...and I havent had to do that yet.

Why not try Linea Directa, (Direct Line) I insure car through them, but they do do house insurance, and provide english translations.

You're correct Glynis, but they told me they're hoping to in the future.

I went to renew my ins and my local bank took one look at it and said i was overinsured for a property of my size, manager knew the house as his cousin lived in it many years previously.

He saved me about 100 euros in total.

Have a word with your bank as well.
