About Home
Our Home insurance products provide wide coverage, underpinned by sustainable pricing coupled with excellent service from experienced underwriters and a first class claims service. Our products are on the major broker systems allowing electronic trading.
However, we appreciate that not every risk ‘fits the box’ and we therefore encourage our partners to talk to us about those risks that need some flexibility and we are able to provide a bespoke solution. We like to work closely and listen to our broker partners to ensure the products we have meet the requirements of their clients.
We currently insure over £10bn of properties within the UK.
