Insurance claim

1
Don’t waste your money buying household insurance from Nationwide - they are crooks and will not pay up Pay a bit more and go elsewhere Will never touch a Nationwide product again Reviewed on: 25th October 2019

Terrible customer experience

1
The service from Nationwide Home Insurance after an attempted break in was very poor. The door, which took nearly 8 weeks to be replaced, wasn't as good as the old door and was poorly made. Nationwide nor the company that fitted the door, VPS Evander, were prepared to do anything about it. Terrible customer service that only added to the stress of dealing with the mess left after the attempted break in. Reviewed on: 3rd September 2019

One good, one bad

I have claimed twice on the home insurance in the last few years. The first time was great, smooth and stress free and I would have highly recommended. The second time was a nightmare. Lost paperwork, having to resend emails and advisers who didn’t really know what was going on. It mad the whole process more stressful Reviewed on: 1st September 2019

One good, one bad

I have made two claims in the past few years with Nationwide Home Insurance. The first was great, stress free and I would have highly recommended. The second time was a nightmare, lost paperwork, resending emails, advisers who didn’t really know what they were doing. Made the whole process far more stressful. Reviewed on: 1st September 2019

Best insurance

5
Nationwide are easy to talk to and will offer any help needed Reviewed on: 8th August 2019

Contents insurance

1
Took out contents only insurance last year for a reasonable price. Just received a renewal quote which is 47% !!! more than last year. Needless to say I won’t be taking up their ridiculous offer. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2019

good price

4
good price for extended periods away from home Reviewed on: 30th July 2019

good value

5
excellent easy on-line form and good discount if you hold bank account with them Reviewed on: 6th July 2019

Awful

1
I had a radiator pipe leak in January and am still living with bare broken up floors as Nationwide have been so slow and unhelpful. At this moment in time I am still awaiting a start date for repair works! Their policy is to ask you to get quotes for the works and when I did that they offered a cash settlement for less than half the value. I told them to get their contractors to do the work as I couldn't get anyone to do it for the price they offered me and am still waiting!! Dreadful service. Reviewed on: 12th April 2019

Great until you actually have to claim

1
I've had a horrendouse time claiming for items that were stolen from my house whether or not I had receipts for them. They've been so rude, slow and ultimately hardly want to pay anything. I'm cancelling this immediately afterwards Reviewed on: 1st March 2019
