Wow. That was the price I was thinking I’d find here, but in Melbourne and PC the rates were reasonable if not on the beach or within blocks of it.
Totally outrageous - I’m thinking of dropping all but liability next year. I’ve owned this house for 12 years and my insurance payments over that period have run to about $45,000 and never had a claim. I’ve been forced to pay for a couple of inspections where they found one cover off an empty breaker slot and some water staining where a faucet trap had leaked and I had to pay a plumber and an electrician to certify that these were indeed not problems. I was tempted to tell them to go pi$$ up a rope this year. The insurance company’s smug we’re screwing you and there’s nothing you can do about it attitude really is annoying the daylights out of me.
