I've had a quote from Copeland Insurance for 186 pounds which includes earthquake coverage and from Intasure for 156 pounds also including earthquake insurance. Contents are only 5000 pounds so you would want more. I've emailed them back pointing out we are in the earthquake zone and that our house is fairly large (250 sq./m) and asking them to requote so we will see what happens. The plans they offer seem cheap compared to what I pay here but as the houses are stone there is no worry about them burning down!
