Review of the LV (Liverpool Victoria), Home insurance:

Worst Home Insurance company !!

1
30 years of having home insurance and hardly ever claimed i unfortunately took out home insurance with the worst home insurance company LV . Please don't use this company i have had the most stressful week trying to sort out a simple job of replacing a toilet button and a part in toilet cistern that stop working so i couldn't flush the toilet . I rang to explain what had happened ( in my cover it stated i was covered for bathroom suite with plumbing it is a silver cover . I took a day off work to wait for the 1st engineer arriving he came looked at the toilet said he didn't have the right part he would order the part and be in contact . On the Saturday of that week an unpleasant 2nd engineer arrived with the part ordered by the 1st engineer he looked at the problem and informed me the 1st engineer ordered the wrong part and that “ he no longer works for the company as he couldn't get a grip of the job “ just great! he took a photo of the part and said he would be in contact once he gets the part . Half an hour later emergency cover rang and said the whole toilet needs to come out and to contact my insurance company and inform them i need “track and trace”. I asked do they not communicate with each other the advisor who was so patronising and unpleasant drove me crazy informing me i need to contact them . I was then informed by LV i am not covered for track and trace ?? I explained don't have a leak so i don't need track and trace its just the button and part inside toilet needs replacing ( this job previously 5 years ago was sorted on the first visit when i had Tesco insurance tgey use dyno rod ) I am now left having to go through a plumber who came out and said the job is no problem he's ordered the part and replacing it when it arrives costing me £100 . Why would i be told the whole toilet needs to come out ? Please save yourself the stress use any other insurance company but these cowboys . I had another 6 months on my policy i am cancelling it and going back to a insurance company that actually cares about their customers . I know they are few and far between but i should not have switched from Tesco . LV sort your policies out and be more transparent and give better training to your call centre staff especially on how to speak politely to customers! Reviewed on: 28th January 2023

LV quoted me a competitive price which I accepted. I feel LV home insurance is more comprehensive than other providers and offers very good value for money. I have peace of mind that if anything should happen LV will look after me. Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

LV are bottom slicing their customer base

As a customer for 19 years I have migrated my house insurance. Last year they increased the premium by 50%. This year by 110% so adios. They did the same with my car insurance which they have had for 10 years. I had 3 cars insured with them and they will all move as the renewals approach. allianz now own LV and they are racking up the premiums of their loyal customers to see what they can get away with. I have NEVER made a claim for house or car insurance in 19 years Reviewed on: 10th June 2024
