Direct Line Landlord Insurance Reviews

Reasonable premiums for 4 yrs ..now a 430 % increase - don't stay with these rogues !!

Had a landlords policy paying about £140 for buildings only policy , this went up to £166 over 4 years which was reasonable - until 2018 they asked for £876 !!! ( and never made a claim ) ...

Had a landlords policy paying about £140 for buildings only policy , this went up to £166 over 4 years which was reasonable - until 2018 they asked for £876 !!! ( and never made a claim )
Asked to explain their greedy hike ..they replied that the Environmental Agency were to blame as they had now put the property in the risk of flood catergory !
Did they have the honesty , courtesy or balls to tell me this in any correspondence before the renewal ??? No flipping chance - Be warned !! ( this case is ongoing )

I bought Landlord insurance and paid the extra for Legal Expenses. My tenant defaulted on his rent payment, so I activated the legal department and informed them from an early stage that there may be problems. As the property is fully managed, I nominated my "agent" to deal with matters on my behalf. Direct Line Legal are a firm called "DWF" based at Bristol; they have repeatedly failed to keep me or my agents informed of what is happening. Because my tenant is in the property but not paying me any money, this is resulting in considerable financial hardship not to mention worry and anxiety for myself! AVOID this firm if you feel you should be kept informed at the very least; and want everything to proceed at acceptable speed. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR LANDLORDS!

U.K. Call centres, freephone, good communication and friendly staff. Insurance quotes in general need to stop going up year on year by 10/15 pounds but, at least this company doesn't take forever to haggle and this is why I use them for most of my insurance needs at this present time.

Good price

Good price from a trusted name. Have only had one small claim a few months ago and it was handled better than I expected to be honest.

Decent cover

Although the premium wasn't the lowest and I had to have a guarantee to beat completed, the cover is really good, and I feel reassured as a landlord that if something went wrong I will be covered

Excellent price and service

I've had a very pleasant experience with Direct Line when taking out landlord coverage. The price was very competitive and I've experienced excellent customer service when calling their call centres.

Cheap first year then massive price increase in second year.

Found the first years quote quite reasonable then on the first renewal the price rose by 5 to 6 times the original premium.

I recently purchased Direct Line Landlord Insurance and the level of customer service was excellent. They answered all questions I had, called me back when they said they would, allowed me to purchase online after getting a quote to enable me to get cashback, and best of all, price matched the quote I'd had from a cheaper and much lesser known insurer. I have read the policy thoroughly and appears to be fully comprehensive and I feel safe in the knowledge that we have purchased this product.
