For the last few years I have been insuring my holiday home, a 2 bed townhouse in Villamartin on the Valencias urb, with a company called Intasure based in the UK as I decided it would be easier to sort any issues out if it were a UK based company. I do not rent this home out and visit, under normal circumstances, around 6 times a year for around 8 weeks total.

My latest renewal has just come in at £260 ( around €300 as a one off payment). That seems quite high to me and just wonder if anyone can recommend a UK based company that I could get a competitive quote from? Or it may well be that this is a competitive price? My insurance includes all admin charges, £5,500 of contents and legal cover.

Many thanks for any advice.

Try Alfonso of Gran Alacant Insurances who advertise down the right hand side of this page, highly recommended. Don't worry about him being in Spain, it can all be done by email and all documentation is in English. He was very helpful with a recent motor claim.

many thanks Cheryl, will give that a go also. i was just concerned that mainly being based in the UK it would be easier to deal with any problems or claims with a UK based company.
