Huge renewal increase and poor account management.

1
I received two emails from Home Protect regarding the renewal of my home insurance. The first said that they had tried to take a payment for auto-renewal but the payment request had been refused. The second said, correctly, that I didn't have auto renewal set. Neither mentioned the renewal amount. When I contacted the company I realised why they had tried to auto-renew without telling me for how much. The premium increase was an enormous 60%. I was easily able to find another (better) policy for a reasonable amount with a Which? recommended company. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

I became a customer 11 years ago with specific coverage requirements. I compare every renewal but remain with them. Competitive pricing every time too. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Tried to take unauthorised payment

2
Home protect couldn't decide whether I had automatic renewal or not. So they sent me an email telling me that I had, but that their attempt to take a payment had been declined. The sent me a second email saying that I did not have automatic renewal and that I had to pay manually. At no time did they tell me the renewal amount. When I telephoned to find the cost it became clear why they had been reluctant to tell me. The increase was enormous. I learnt my lesson and moved to a different company with a better policy for less money. Reviewed on: 14th August 2024

AVOID SCAM COMPANY AT ALL COST

AVOID THIS SCAM COMPANY AT ALL COSTS…… AVOID THIS SCAM COMPANY AT ALL COSTS… Payed my insurance premiums to this company only to be told after 4 months of having a hole in my roof that it’s down to poor workmanship and my claim is not covered. There is no customer services with home protect they just don’t call you back for nothing… a one off storm event has nothing to do with the condition of the roof.. please do not use this company as they will take your money and not cover you and remember the surveying officer that comes to the property is the wolf in sheep’s clothing for home protect this claim was all ways getting declined. DO NOT USE THEM 100% fraudsters. Reviewed on: 5th April 2024

Awful Company

1
I was insured with Home Protect for 8… I was insured with Home Protect for 8 years until today. Never again, I cancelled my insurance due to underhand tactics to charge me more for my policy due to their own errors. The company simply does not speak English, they deal in riddles and so many get out clauses their service is worthless. I could not get a straight conversation with their representative today. There are many more insurers out there who provide a much clearer and friendlier and honest service out there. I wont touch this company again and suggest that anyone considering them looks elsewhere also. I shall write a more detailed and scathing review when I have more time but wanted to put up this warning immediately to hopefully avoid others considering using them from having the same awful experience!

Do not go with home protect

1
Please do not solicit this company's services. You would be left deeply disheartened and upset. I had my bag stolen next to me while having a post work drink with a colleague, all recorded on CCTV and reported to the police. It has been 3 months so far waiting for compensation for my Mac which was inside the bag. I was told the company was waiting for the police report, only to find months later that the company did not consider this as a theft only after giving them a call. No such request to the police had been made for months. I was then asked to contact the pub and obtain the cctv footage, which the establishment declined as it can only be provided directly to the police. I have beeb misinformed, stalled and spoken down to so many times. The worst service I have ever experienced. Reviewed on: 6th December 2023

Incorrect Advise Leading to Non-coverage

1
I was incorrectly advised by one of the sales team so I was not covered for my phone away from my property. Be warned this company has lots of loopholes that make it hard to claim and they have a cancellation fee so that even when they won't cover you they'll charge you in order that you can switch to an insurer who will. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Reviewed on: 10th November 2023

75% hype in insurance premiums for existing customers with no claims

1
I was astounded when my house insurance renewal notice arrived, A massive 75% increase in my premium, this is despite the fact that everything remains exactly the same as 12 months ago and I have not made any claims, calls to their customer service was a complete waste of time , in any case no company could justify a 75% increase in any product or service . The financial Conduct Authority need to introduce tighter regulations to protect the consumer , Reviewed on: 9th October 2023
