Buildings Insurance Fees (EDM494)

Buildings Insurance Fees

EDM number 494 in 2001-02, proposed by Geraint Davies on 29/11/2001.

That this House notes with concern the widespread practice whereby mortgage customers are required to pay a minimum of Ãº25 to switch their buildings insurance to another provider; further notes that consumers are often misled by their mortgage lender's lack of clear, up-front, information about the existence of this fee; recognises that no comparable switching fees exist in similar service industries such as gas, electricity and telecoms; applauds the action taken by insurers who refund this fee to their customers; and recommends that the regulators take action against this anti-competitive and anti-consumer practice to allow mortgage customers to choose the best buildings insurance policy for their circumstances without being deterred by an unjustifiable fee.

This motion has been signed by a total of 138 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
