“You only know how good a company is when you have a claim. I used their 24hr claims line but was told they don't have authority to approve any work. I phoned them at 7:30 am and was told they would contact me during office hours. It is now 12:30 and no call. I tried calling their claims line again (using different phone) and have been on hold for 3 hours. Today is possibly an exception due to last night's storm But I have a dangerous roof with loose tiles that could blow off at any time. I tried emailing but their reply states a 2 day timescale. Roofers are very busy in area and I was hoping my insurer could help me. Very frustrating (and dangerous).”

“Contacted customer services 3/4 weeks in advance, as I was going to be away at renewal. No information about renewal was available. Representative said she would arrange for documents to be sent by email instead of post nearer the time. This never happened. Consequently I was forced to allow auto-renew to go ahead, and accept the usual loyalty price-hike.”

“ACOID!!! Incompetent and don’t deliver on promises - a miserable experience. I raised a claim for the first time having been insured with them for nearly 7 years and not once did they do what they said they were going to do. I had to constantly chase for updates, despite assurances that they would get back to me (which they never did) and the whole thing has dragged on and on. Customer Service is very polite but simply not able to do their job within their own target response times.”

“I have been a policy holder with you for years. I have had problems with storm damage and each time I get fobbed off with some nonsense about the storm not being wet enough or the wind speed fast enough. Your claims handling makes me feel cheated. I only stay with you as your rates are cheap, presumably because you have such strong claim handling skills. As I have had to replace my roof at my own cost I shouldn’t have to make any more claims for storm damage and fingers crossed you will cover me if I have a claim in future, but I live in fear. I am far from being a satisfied customer.”

“AVOID-AVOID-AVOID-Terrible company, they have caused myself so much stress with all their lies. Said put contactor/builders out to my home with a surveyor which I did not see. They excused myself of false allegations and adviced me to stop making these. When I sent them emails of proof I received an email back - apologies for any confusion 🤷‍♀️. I still have a damaged roof to storm damage which I was covered for but they claimed it was not storm damage. AllTradesLtd builder/contactor and surveyor said no its not due to storm damage. THEY DID NOT ATTEND MY PROPERTY AND HAVE PROOF OF THIS😡. I Cannot let this go and will not let it go as I know I am in my rights with this claim. Nobody should have to go through the stress of any company ripping them off, they took my money monthly without fail.”

“I'm not a serial insurance claimer, in fact I can't remember the last time I did claim on my buildings insurance. Having said that at times there is a need to do so and having been insured by Home Protect for 2 years I called the claims helpline. They were only concerened with information that could invalidated my claim, did not request photo evidence of the damage or want to visit site. The true test of an insurance company is when a customer needs to claim for legitamate damage. If I could have given no stars I would have. My advice would to be read your documents very thoroughly. I will not be renewing.”

“I find it very confusing that we have to remember to login to a site to find even our renewal details for house insurance. This makes it easy to make 2 mistakes. 1. Miss our renewal date 2. Make it virtually impossible to find policy details when you or your family need them 3. Think you haven’t got house insurance and pay twice. Why don’t,t you send an email that clearly states house insurance was purchased and the date it was. This would mean a simple email search would reassure you that your up to date. I have just spent an hour trawling through every record I can think of to find a record of my insurance. Even my bank debit payment doesn’t say clearly house insurance.”

“My experience with HomeProtect has been awful. I would highly recommend you look at reviews from customers that have unfortunately needed to actually make a claim with this company and have felt lied to and have been left with a disaster on their plate. HomeProtect policies are distrustful and they will try and obstruct your claim. Avoid wasting your money here at all costs and find another company pronto!”
