Why when I asked about building insurance from adviser he has given me life cover quotes?
Your not being stupid, at best the ‘adviser’ is. They are two totally different products, legally and practically. They are so different no decent insurance professional would ever confuse the two. In fact in very few cases do companies sell both types, you usually have ABC Insurance co and ABC Life co. So I whole heartedly agree with legs, either the adviser (not really a proper term in the UK anyway which makes me suspicious) is incompetent or trying to sell you something you haven’t asked for. Either way, go somewhere else. For ordinary buildings cover you don’t really need an adviser anyway, try getting some quotes on-line. Just type “Buildings insurance” into google (.co.uk) and you’ll see a host of companies that you’ve heard of and who will give you an instant on line quote.
