Hello
Thank-you for your question. Nice to see you here again!
Have you asked the company who insure your main home? They may be able
to offer you a deal that's better than starting afresh with a new
insurer.
If not, these are some companies who offer building and contents
insurance for second/holiday homes in England. Most are listed at the
website of the General Insurance Standards Council (GISC) and I have
put 'GISC member' where appropriate.

I could not find a postal address on their website. However, they are
