French House Insurance
When you buy a house in France you have to prove that you have third party liability insurance. So this has to arranged before the final signing. We got a quote via a contact of the VEF office in France and then via our French Banks Insurance arm (Pacifica en ligne).
It was very difficult to compare the two sets of information we had but in the end we picked the Pacifiac policy because it was easier to understand. It was the more expensive of the two but as even this was under £200 for the year (including fire, theft etc)it seemed very reasonable compared to the UK.
