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.

Halifax offers three levels of home insurance cover: bronze, silver and gold. Depending on your chosen level, various add-ons are available for extra protection. For example, away from home cover, accidental damage and legal expenses. Halifax policies allow you to choose your own excess, and give you access to a 24/7 emergency helpline.

What is your highest priority for your home insurance policy? Are you prioritising a high level of contents insurance, or a higher level of buildings cover? Perhaps you’re only looking to purchase one or the other? If you’ve had to claim against a previous policy, you’ll understand the importance of finding a professional and efficient provider. Read our Halifax home insurance reviews to see how Halifax policyholders rate the service they received.

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

Worst home insurance provider out there.

I have had the worst experience with Halifax home insurance. Our flat flooded nearly two months ago through no fault of our own, it was our neighbours pipe that burst. This long since the flood you'd think at least the contents would be out the flat. Unfortunately not. Everything is now growing mold and getting ruined. We have been moved accomodation 3 times since the flood since they refuse to book anything more than two weeks in advance. This has led to my partner ending up in hospital as she has cerebral palsy and moving so frequently exacerbated it. We just want to go home but Halifax have made it clear to us they do not care. If you are even considering using the for home insurance, please, save yourself some trouble and don't use them. Reviewed on: 5th February 2023

An Absolute Joke

what an absolute joke, i have just tried to call them to discuss my renewal and they will not speak to me because they cannot get me through the security. but they don't want to know normal things like my name address date of birth post code email, telephone number, how i pay, the amount i pay what date i pay etc - that not enough no they want details of the policy that i just cannot answer. I am now off to make a formal complaint to the ICO as they are holding my data and will not give me access to what they are holding which is a breach. What's wrong with these companies?

Great price and quality insurance

Halifax are always helpful always access to support Reviewed on: 13th August 2022

Unbelievably useless

I agree with all the bad reviews I have tried 3 times to claim, each time it was definitely covered - burst pipe and two pest control issues. They don't want to know. I have had a wasps' nest in the house for a whole month and have spent so much time calling the home emergency team, I could have killed each individual wasp myself in that time. They outsource their work to Evander who outsources it to someone else, so no one knows what's happening. All I know is, they're not sorting out the wasps' nest. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2022

100% increase in a year

Have had home and contents with Halifax for a year. Circumstances are the same, no claims made .Renewal letter showed a 100% hike. After a tetchy conversation with sales person I am no wiser as to reason for increase.. He seem quite happy to lose my custom..Told me to shop around for a better deal. Reviewed on: 27th June 2022

Unprofessional

After a break in , we informed Halifax that we needed the garage to be made safe, they said 24 hrs it would be done, 4 days later they rang to say , has it be done the answer was no.So we took it into our own hands and got it sorted, ourselves, and did not bother claiming as we were dealing with fools who were not interested. Then our Renewal turns up for a extra £100 for the year I don't think so, even though we have been loyal customers for years, obviously making enough money , without mine.
