John Lewis Home insurance reviews (77)

Easy and straightforward, without hidden traps

After doing more than 8 complete-these-forms for different insurance companies and comparative sites, completing the John Lewis form felt grown-up, straightforward and without any hidden traps. The language was adult but not inaccessible, the definitions made sense, the added extras made were reaonable. Even though my quote was higher than 4 others, I took it, because I felt I could trust them. It helped they got a 5 star defacqto rating, which does mean in case of claim they should be okay. Cross fingers a bit there. Overall though, it all adds to a feeling of security. And isn't that home insurance is meant to provide, a feeling of security? Thank you JL. Reviewed on: 27th July 2023

Scam

They are scams DO NOT USE. I was with them for a long time in the end they refuse to cover me. they always find way to not pay Reviewed on: 31st May 2023

Totally unorganised and DO NOT use

No feed back - no follow up - constantly lose documents - have a couldn’t care less attitude Please, please do not use Reviewed on: 2nd May 2023

Inept

Tried to make a claim on behalf of my Mum, an attempted break-in. Locks were fixed at my expense, tried to report to John Lewis. Spent well over half a day getting no-where. Decided not worth claiming! Reviewed on: 24th April 2023

Impossible to contact... So slow when you do

Simple claim made December 9th 2022. No contact or movement at all for 6 weeks.. Online chat is worse than useless... I tried around 9 times and held on for hours each time... No response. Online status requests remained unansweted. It took. 4 months to get anywhere at all with this lot. I'm cancelling.... You should avoid. Reviewed on: 1st April 2023

Credit Help

I am disabled veteran who over the past 2 years had to let my credit go because of health priorities that were not covered by VA or other insurance. Anyways, I ran into some testimonies on some credit blogs on the net which led me to this specialist. My scores were 512, 515, 523 on the 3 bureaus. No public records, only 3 open acct but several collection accts with 0 balances. After a few weeks of working on my files, all collections were cleared out and my scores were boosted with 260 points. You can reach out as well if you need help:FIXMYCREDIT at WRITEME d0t com Reviewed on: 29th March 2023

So easy to use

Amazing insurance with easy access and lots of help available. Reviewed on: 26th March 2023

Useless. Typical of most home insurance companies

All very friendly when they take your money. Their assessors took one month to come & assess, but were extremely quick to dismiss our claim. Warning to all: Read the policy wording word by word because typical of most insurance companies, they will wriggle out of paying up. Don't judge a company when they take your money. Wait until you have to make a claim! John Lewis are just as bad as most of the rest Reviewed on: 15th November 2022

4 Years and still waiting for work to be done

Our house has been suffering from subsidence. They have admitted it needs doing. We have been made us cut down all our and our neighbours' trees. 4 years so far. Every time they submit a scope of works it is riddled with errors. Whenever we spot an error, usually an omission, it takes months for another scope of works to arrive. Yes youve guessed it, usually with the same error. Crawfords are the assessors. Whenever i try to call i just get stuck in a queue. It gives me the chance to leave my name and number whilst preserving my place in the queue - a week later still nothing. It is such a shame that John Lewis has linked itself to such a disreputable, shambolic bunch of people. Do not insure yourselves with a John Lewis Home Insurance policy of you want a policy that will pay out. Terrible Reviewed on: 19th October 2022

Excellent service

Excellent product and customer service Reviewed on: 8th September 2022
