About this product

Before taking out your new home insurance policy, check customer reviews to be confident that the provider is reputable. We collect Halifax home insurance reviews to help you make an informed decision when selecting a new provider.

Review of the Halifax, Home Insurance:

Fair price cover.

Quote for home and contents insurance are a very good price for cover provided. Very good cover and price for extra high value items. I have not experienced any claims, therefore not a full score. This may change my opinion if I do have a claim and the service is poor. Reviewed on: 11th October 2024

Comprehensive competive cover

Easy to deal with and renew, at a competitive price, for comprehensive home cover Reviewed on: 23rd August 2023

Halifax home insurance

Great home insurance with Halifax. Covers everything in your home at an excellent monthly premium Reviewed on: 23rd August 2023

Decent prices and handle claims really well

The test of an insurance company for me is how they handle claims and respond to queries. Halifax have been excellent and prices are pretty good too. Reviewed on: 22nd August 2023

Horrible company,waste of money

The claim was being dealt with slowly.They then closed down my claim because they couldn't reach me on the phone once. They obviously didn't keep track on what was going on. I've tried to restart the claim twice. An automated answer phone told me to only start a claim on the phone,if I'm a vulnerable person. Otherwise I should use the online application form. I did, so far it has been ignored. They obviously do whatever they want to. I'll have to fix the damage myself. Reviewed on: 5th June 2023

Horrible insurance company

The halifax insurance is really a waste of money for a customer by paying monthly payments, thinking that your home is protected. Ones you put a claim they really insult your home by paying you money for damage priced by year 1984. They sent someone to assess my damage and he was really unqualified to assess damage. He had no building experience, he was voice recording as he was walking through my house about the damage and my husband ,a qualified joiner with 38 years experience was listening to him talking nonsense. The assessor Wouldn't even recognise a one tipe of bathroom floor to another. He told us that he is only here to measure the rooms, he was that rude to tell us not to walk with him around our home!! According to his incompetent opinion we got a settlement figure witch would never be enough to repair our damage to a standard we had before the flood. If you read my review and you are thinking to buy their insurance, please be aware that this insurance is not there to be honest with you. My insurance policy with them was a expencive policy and I realised that was a waste of money over the years. At the start they asked to get my own building company to priced the damage witch I did, absolutely a waste of my time. Their professional estimate was absolutely ignored. Terrible company with company policy of receiving monthly payments to become rich, not to protect customers, but insult them instead! What's the point then?! Overall halifax home insurance by my own expenses 3 times over 11 years is a scam. They don't deserve even a start, but it is no option to give them 0 stars Reviewed on: 3rd May 2023

Ok

Was easy to purchase, welcome pack arrived never had any issues (did not need to file a claim) Reviewed on: 25th March 2023

Utter shysters

Utter shysters, when you attempt to make a claim they use every trick in the book to block you actually making the claim. Use another insurance provider, that’s what I’ll be doing! Reviewed on: 25th March 2023

Just words

I have got some cameras that I use for aviation photography. I always make sure I'm covered for accidental damage at home and away. I took out a policy with then and unfortunately needed to claim after I accidentally dropped the contents of my cameras bag onto my driveway getting the bag out of the car. I thought I was covered wherever I was, but no, I didn't have 'outbuilding and open spaces'cover. So if I dropped it in my house, I'm covered. If I dropped it outside the boundary of my home I'd be covered. But no-because I dropped it on my drive and didn't have this cover I didn't even know I needed, claim rejected. I complained but was again rejected. I'm furious and feel they sold me a policy I couldn't claim on Reviewed on: 13th February 2023
