Review of the NFU Mutual, Home insurance:

What a disaster!

In May 2020 I discovered damp patches from a leak that was coming from my en suite shower through the ceiling to the study below. The damage was extensive and NFU contracted the repair work out to C. Hanlon, a trades company. Work began on 24th June 2020 and for ther next 5 months my house was in total upheaval. I never knew if/when workmen would turn up. There were frequent, lengthy delays when they were sent off to other jobs and communication was sparse. The shower room and adjoining bedroom were gutted, the shower, wash basin and toilet were dismantled, carpets and floor boards were ripped up, the bedroom furniture was sent to storage, the ceiling and wallpaper in the study below where the water had leaked through had to be replaced. At one point when the workmen had left for the weekend, I found that they had left a pipe dripping which caused another leak through the ceiling below. By mid-October, the work was finally completed...or so I thought, but in February this year I noticed that the vinyl floor in the shower room had started lifting and suspected that the shower was still leaking. The NFU Claims Adjuster came out, gave a cursory look around and concluded that there was not a problem. However, when I lifted the vinyl I found that the floor boards were soaking. The leak is coming from under the shower tray. So now I am back to where I was in May 2020, with apparently no redress forthcoming. My calls are met with vague promises of future action which has so far not materialised. I wrote to NFU Customer Relations requesting that my claim be prioritised in view of the fact that their subcontractor's incompetence has caused this situation. Their response was that it takes 40 days to resolve a complaint, so clearly I am wasting my time with them. Reviewed on: 31st July 2021

NFU mutual... real people not computers

We are very pleased with the service from NFU mutual as the actually take the time to understand you as a customer. They can be less competitive but they insure you properly and don't make claiming a difficulty. Reviewed on: 25th August 2024

NFU Mutual second to none

Easy process with excellent customer service Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

Quality Costs

NFU may not be the cheapest option available but their products, particualrly home insurance, are comprehensive and their response to enquiries or claims first class. Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

Hassle free for a complicated house move

I was in the process of moving home but without going directly from one house to another. I already had home and contents insurance with NFU and after emails and phone calls readily answered I was able to continue cover for contents only for a short period of time. However, due to delays in securing the new property, I remained in contact with NFU and was able to extend the cover several times over. Phones and emails answered within very rewasonable times and helpful positive staff. Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

They're very good.

They're very good. They insure my home. I pay by direct debit. They're an insurance company that do insurance, and they insure me. I am insured by them. My home is not insured by anyone else. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Insurance You Can Rely On

I have had Building and Contents Insurance with NFU for 20 years. I needed an insurer with a flexible approach, as I live in a Barn Conversion where standard insurance cover simply didn't fit the bill. NFU were easy to talk to with a 'can do' approach both friendly and professional. With a loyalty bonus each year that makes me feel valued. Reviewed on: 24th August 2023

Efficient, helpful and easy to deal with

We've been with NFU Mutual for many years. They are not the cheapest, but their prices are reasonable. We've had to make a few claims over the years, and they have always responded quickly and positively. Reviewed on: 24th August 2023

Always there to talk

I really value the fact that NFU are reachable by phone and the staff are always well trained - knowledgeable and helpful to my queries. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2023

Personal, caring insurance provider

NFU have been our insurers for many years. The premium is very reasonable for the cover they provide, when we were running our own business from home & now we have retired. They are very flexible and will make alterations to the policy with a quick phone call. They remind us each year well before the renewal date and are happy to come out to see us to discuss any changes we might need. And on the rare occasions we have had to make a claim, they have been fair, prompt and helpful. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2023
