Quality home insurance

5
The amount of cover provided is astounding when compared to other insurance companies. The cost might be the lowest on the market, but the cover is the best that I have ever had. Insured for contents, building and out of home, peace of mind fully protected. The fact that the policy is offered by John Lewis is a bonus in my book. Reviewed on: 5th July 2017

Wouldn't insure me!

3
I tried to get a quote for contents insurance as my Grandmother had previously had good rates for her buildings insurance with them. However, they wouldn't insure me as the postcode was in an area at risk of flooding even though I live in a 2nd floor flat, a long way from the river. My Grandmother, who lives closer to the river than me, in a bungalow did get insurance! Reviewed on: 28th December 2016

John Lewis Home Insurance - Not a good experience on first ever claim

1
John Lewis Home Insurance 'Premier' Cover - it is our first Claim ever made on any Home Insurance by us with any company, and has not been a good experience at all so far! Been 6 plus weeks since we made the Claim due to water leak in Bathroom: has been a catalogue of poor and often conflicting information, numerous and sometimes even conflicting information from contractors in contact with us. And all this before any repair work even commences! Not a good experience and not one we would recommend. Only by going direct and making a formal complaint to John Lewis Head Office did things start to get going, but we are now back to conflicting information and apparent confusion all round again. We just hope that when repair work finally happens, that its all it should be? Would not recommend service so far at all, and this is supposed to be the top 'Premier' cover (although it is not actually John Lewis anyway, you are dealing direct with Royal Sun Alliance). We expected and had hoped for better service with a John Lewis product! Reviewed on: 17th November 2016
