Home Protect Home Insurance reviews (28)

Average insurance but reasonable prices

Although written by Axa with customer service provided by Home Protect this insurance cover is sufficient, but lack lustre. I found customer services, quite frankly difficult to engage, it was difficult to make enquiries and get things done, but it was a good price.. I’m not sure how they would be in the area of making a claim, but I imagine it would be a challenging based on my engagement on simple enquiries. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2023

Zero customer service. Total six hours on hold. Don't answer emails. No way to talk to them

Had a claim. We paid out thousands for repairs. Loss adjusters approved all quotes but Homeprotect won't pay out. They said 3-7 days. Now past 30 days. Reviewed on: 16th August 2023

Paid £1300 insurance and not covered

I paid my full annual insurance of £1300 on the 28th June, 2023. When my documents didn't come through a week later I contacted them and they said that they had no record of my payment but that there finance department would be in touch. After a further week there was no correspondence and my home was not insured. I phoned them again. They said I had two option. First to repay the £1300 or secondly they would send an email to finance and hope they picked it up soon. I put a complaint forward which was upheld and the case was closed. They said that they would honour any claim I made but still no documents sent to me. The following day I got an email saying that I wasn't insured because they hadn't had any payment. I'm back on the phone now and they are saying they have received my payment and I will be insured, but they cannot send me my documents for 30 days. I have demanded to speak to a manager. Its not good enough! Reviewed on: 11th July 2023

Appalling Home Emergency Cover

My basement started to flood this morning at 6am. I logged a help request with Home Protect and explained that a blocked external drain had caused heavy rain to run off into my basement. I advised that urgent help was needed because more rain was forecast and the water level would likely rise further and ruin the washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge and solar batteries. It's now 4pm and no one has been to help and the water level is still rising. I have just been advised by Home protect that they can't get anyone to me until tomorrow morning. That will be 27 hours after I first called. I live in London.. How is it possible not to have ANY emergency cover available? Reviewed on: 12th April 2023

It took months to negotiate my claim, which is still not paid.

It took months to negotiate my claim, which is still not paid. I complained about their service and that their lack of communication, which was acknowledged, and they ignored all my communications by phone and email for months. I finally raised the issue with the ombudsman, and they lied and said they had not recieved my complaint. They then sent me a complaint resolution, without actually speaking to me to find out what my complaint was. The resolution did not address my concerns. Their resolution is the final, and only, response they intend to provide for any complaint. In addition, they do not treat clients personal information correctly. I made a subject access request, which was acknowledged, but never further responded to. I called their contact centre (30+ minutes waiting time) and was informed that had never received my subject access request. When I advised the request had been acknowledged, they could only apologise, but did not raise another complaint. I am currently on hold (56 mins waiting time so far) to speak again with one of their claims handlers. I am writing this review to pass the time. Reviewed on: 24th March 2023

Cancelled my home insurance and was sent a default on my credit rating

I had my house insurance buildings and contents cover with Home Protect and called them mid policy with two months remaining to cancel the policy as I had sold my house and was moving in with my parents whilst waiting for my house purchase to complete. I was advised that I had to pay £50 cancellation fee on the £15.73 a month policy with two months left to run. This was waived by a manager as more than the monthly payments remaining. The two months passed and then I received an email from HomeProtect issuing me with a default notice under section 87(1) of the consumer credit act 1974. I called their telephone line and spend over two hours on the phone to various people trying to explain that I cancelled the policy two months ago and I was out through to 4 different people no one was able to revolve the issue. In the end the operator made a complaint on my behalf but I was unable to speak directly to the complaints team. I am livid to have a default on my credit account. I would never use this company again or recommend. Reviewed on: 6th March 2023

Avoid at all costs

Home emergency - called to make claim - after many hours in a queue gave up and completed their online form. Acknowledgement email says they'll be in touch swiftly. A month later and I've still not heard. Completed their complaints form and was promised a reply in 2 days - 10 days later no response. Cannot get through on the phone, emails never responded to. Will be raising with ombudsman. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2023

Poor Claims Service

Negligent service, ignore your emails. I have an emergency and i've been waiting 2 months for a reply! Reviewed on: 7th January 2023

Hope your premium covers your claim

We have HomeProtect buildings and contents insurance, we made a claim in July and after 20 emails, hours on the phone I still haven't had any correspondence with reference my claim My online account doesn't even have the claim showing!! Absolutely disgraceful service they should not be entitled to be an insurance company. Reviewed on: 8th November 2022

Steer clear not interested in customer service

Very poor service, 3 months so far with a claim. Raised a complaint and they used the complaint instead of my claim. Email and call and no response what so ever. I'm afraid if I need any other claims. Reviewed on: 14th October 2022
