Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2017 9:25 pmWe've had our place for 18 months and was recommended to use Spanish Insurance who have offices in Ciudad Quesada and La Zenia.

Ciudad Quesada : 966 731 691
La Zenia : 966 730 694
I deal with Lauren and the service we've received is great. We had a problem with damp walls in October and a builder had suggested he'd have to rip out the entire bathroom!! Our neighbour suggested I contact Lauren. I emailed her late one evening with photos and she'd replied by 08:15 next morning and their man was round by 10:15 same day!! He found the problem and sorted it out immediately having to pop out for some supplies. We left Lauren a key to allow the walls to dry out and when we returned 5 weeks later it was all repaired/painted and looking as good as new!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. If only our UK insurance were anywhere near as efficient!!

Hi willemite, We're in a similar position.
We were initially insured with our bank when we bought last year. It was expensive but part of a deal regarding the cost of issuing a bank draft. Close to renewal date we had to give the bank 2 months notice to cancel and visit the branch to sign a cancellation letter, otherwise the insurance would be automatically be renewed and we would be liable for full payment. Apparently this is how a number of Spanish insurance companies operate.
I've had a competitive quote from Intasure. This is a UK company underwritten by Lloyds. The cover looks good, the building insurance covers the kitchen/bathroom fittings (unlike Spanish insurance which is usually part of the contents) and there's no requirement for x months notice to cancel at renewal.
We own our apartment as non-residents and it is empty for around 6 months a year.
Re-above post ......I've also requested information and a quote from Lauren at spanish-insurance.net Thanks
UPDATE : We ended up going with Abbeygate Insurance (Wyedean). They're a UK company, FCA regulated and no notice for cancellation at renewal. Their quote was very competitive, the excess was lower than Intasure and the public liability limit was higher than Spanish-Insurance.net (Generali).
Not heard any problems with claims, so fingers crossed
Good to have another holiday home insurance company to compare when our Intasure renewal quote comes through.
