I've recently bought an EC120 and had no issues with insurance. I had no hours on type and only 100h total time. Excess £2k and no requirement for a safety pilot or min hours.
However, regardless of insurance being lax, I do still take a safety pilot for the time being, however for local trips I am starting to fly solo now three months on.
I can also name other pilots to fly solo as well. Appreciate not exactly for SFH but it is a full commercial policy.
