Do I enjoy to buy buildings and contents insurance from my mortgage provider?

Am I tied to them or can I shop around? (UK)
Answers:
Many years ago you were forced into doing so but the the system changed so that you can run to any insurer for the best deal. I had a Building Society insurance company for heaps year as it was compulsory. The cost was roughly 50% higher than I should have remunerated. As soon as the opportunity came I ditched them and went for quotes. I save thousands over the years.
Hiya !

There is absolutely NO apology why you have to take the insurance from your mortgage provider ! They are usually selling insurance on behalf of a third group - and working on commission !

Shop around for the best deals - even using different companies for the contents and buildings insurance if it's cheaper !
No you don't own to have it with them.
no you are not tied to them, you are free to shop around, some mortgage companies do however have have the condition that you own to have insurance in place, but it can be from anyone.
No, but they will try and make you think that you hold to. Go to www.moneysupermarket.com and do a price comparison.
You do not have to buy Insurance from them, you can get hold of it cheaper from other companies
Many years ago, some mortgage lenders used to insist that you bought their (often expensive) home insurance. Thankfully this was stamped out and now you are not tied to them for buildings insurance.

You do enjoy to demonstrate that you have cover but any insurer is happy to issue a permit to your mortgage lender, it is a fairly common request.

Historically in attendance was a lb35 charge made by the mortgage lender to process this 'administration' but I am pretty sure that is also no longer practiced by anyone.
