Are you renewing your policy soon?

Prices paid for home and motor insurance are changing due to new rules coming into effect on 1 January to protect loyal and vulnerable consumers.

That means prices for those who switch regularly will go up, while long-standing customers will pay less.Brian Brown, consumer finance expert at market analysts Defaqto, said there was no sign of insurers leaving the market as a result, meaning customers still had plenty of choice of products.The policy is designed to end cases of "price walking", which is when a customer is charged more year after year, by staying with the same insurance company - even though their risk is no greater.

But for the same policy, having stayed with the same insurer for five years, that annual premium rose to £238. The new rules are being brought in by the FCA in the New Year following a super-complaint from Citizens Advice about the loyalty penalty.

New home and car insurance rules mean change in pricesAnyone renewing their policy will pay no more than they would as a new customer from 1 January. I guess this will add a little more to inflation with all the increases in household and Vehicle insurance Not happy with this, everyone who is sensible and shops around are going to pay more now. 😡
