Great value and good coverI bought this to replace my existing insurance from another provider. This insurance was not only cheaper, but provided more in terms of the cover. A much better product overall.

Home insured with confidenceThe insurance was not the cheapest, but was set out clearly and unambiguously so that I could be confident that it met all my requirements. It had a few additional useful points I had not thought of.
