If I Could Give Lower Than a Zero Star. I would. I tried to get a life insurance policy with L&G and was turned down based on one letter from my GP. If they had an AHMP employed in their company, the... Read more Reviewed on: 7th June 2022

Review of the Legal and General, Home Insurance:

Good value

Saved a lot on renewal with L & G Reviewed on: 23rd September 2018

Changed policy cover without bothering to tell me

I took out home insurance with Legal & General in January 2017. I received no communication from them until a renewal e-mail arrived in December. When I took the trouble to look through the renewal documents, I noticed they didn't cover my wife's engagement ring, which had been a separately-listed high value item for which I'd paid a premium. When I called to clarify, they told me they had stopped covering this in June, and had sent me a message to my online account to tell me this. I received no notification of this message, no letter, no e-mail, and no phone call. Unless you want to have to log in and check your secure online messages every few months to make sure Legal and General haven't changed your cover without telling you, do not use them for insurance. I also echo the comments about extremely long wait times to talk to them on the phone. Reviewed on: 21st December 2017

Good all round home insurance

Easy to renew with decent coverage at reasonable price. Reviewed on: 10th November 2017

Great!

Happy with this company. They've always been polite and friendly when I've called with an update or query. Reviewed on: 1st October 2017

Can't be beaten on price!

As the title suggests legal and general offer the most comprehensive cover at the lowest price of any company I have ever used. Fantastic company that I will not hesitate to keep using. Reviewed on: 1st October 2017

Used them for about a decade

Check the rates against the competition, hassle them when I have to, to get a decent rate. Reviewed on: 22nd September 2017

Legal and general

I am lucky enough not to have to need to claim,however the documentation from legal and general spells out the extent of your cover.This leaves you assured and allows you to make an informed choice at renewal stage because they are clear on their cover i believe makes them competitive in insurance markets Reviewed on: 17th September 2017

Exellent

Exellent service and a great value product Reviewed on: 11th September 2017

House insurance

Very good cover at a good premium. Poor comms when up for renewal as no reminder, just renewed. Reviewed on: 11th September 2017

Free legal cover for duration of policy

L&G offers free legal cover for the duration of any home insurance at the moment - it's a great deal from a great company. Having not had legal cover when I needed it with a dispute with a previous employer, now I value this hugely with an insurer so to have it free is really great. Reviewed on: 10th September 2017

You Don't Get any Thanks forLoyalty

After years of buying buildings and contents insurance from my mortgage provider I changed to Legal and General five years ago and have saved £2,220 in five years. I chose them from a comparison site because they were the cheapest provider for roughly the same amount of cover. Their website is easy to use with all the important information displayed in an easy to understand format. I have found them to be consistently the cheapest provider for the amount of cover I need and have only gone up by £4 in five years. Reviewed on: 4th September 2017
