Folks,

Me again with more insurance questions.... I've established now that life insurance can take some time, so that's at hand and being processed.

Surely house insurance can only be a matter of days or am I mistaken? I've seen the best one on 123.ie so far.
How long did it take you to get your's?

Many thanks for all replies
 
can be done instantly if a personal visit is made to a broker/insurer.
can be done over phone with some companies.
can be done via web with some companies.
 
So it's not like life insurance, where it can take a little longer depending on circumstances?
 
unless there is some problem, such as the dwelling needs to be surveyed, usually only necesary if it is a period or high value dwelling or built of non standard construction.

If it is a simple pdh, build of concrete and roofed with slate/tiles and occupied by you and your family and used solely for residential purposeds, and that you have no coloured claims or convictions history, then there should be no delay
 
I recently secured next day cover online from 123. They followed up with a phone call the following morning and the paperwork arrived 2 days later. The premium was also less than half of my broker's renewal quote. So far I'm very impressed.
