    Advice needed on good insurer for new expensive home home furniture items and electrical items.

    Ok here it is moved into my flat 1 year ago in the last few months purchased:

    bought 1 x £6,600 bed
    bought 1 x £5,300 sofa
    bought 1 x £5,400 computer
    bought 1 x £3,000 sofa bed
    bought 5 x £5,000 (total) chairs

    I have the receipts for all of these items.

    So I called Nationwide this Saturday morning asking to see whether or not I would have to extend my cover and/or declare these items as luxury expensive items so that their full amount would be covered and not only the first £1,000 of each item.

    The woman I spoke to who actually dealt with Home Insurance only was totally clueless, she didn't seem to know whether or not my existing £21,000 insurance amount (which I want to extend) will even cover these items at all or only up to £1,000 on each item or for the full amount.

    I would assume that you simply designate these items as luxury items which are over £1,000 in value and insure them individually (as I already have done with an item I through away 2 months ago) but she didn't seem to have any idea !

    She fobbed me off basically and I am cheesed off.

    So in your wisdome do you have any good recommendations for an home insurance company that knows what its doing and can actually insure home furniture / electrical items that are up to £7,000 ????

    AXA insurance are they any good ?

    thanks in advance
    Thanks for propping up the economy during 06 and 07. If you can please spend spend spend in 08 without borrowing, Brown will be very grateful.

    I never knew such poverty existed. A sofa bed? Why didn't you just buy a flat with enough bedrooms? Cheapskate.

    Only £5,400? Bloody pauper couldn’t afford one of these, a bit excessive for the odd game of counterstrike me thinks.
