Your credit history has a big impact on what you pay and therefore determines if you find the cheapest house insurance quote or expensive ones. The poorer your credit rating, the higher the rates you get. A poor credit rating suggests that you’ve not been paying your bills in a timely fashion. An insurance company takes this to mean that you’re not financially very responsible and will likely default in paying your rates. If you’re considered a potential defaulter, it makes you a bigger risk and draws more expensive rates than otherwise. 

It will, therefore, be a smart step to do something about improving your credit rating. You will get cheaper rates if you do.
