As a homeowner, your house is likely your most valuable asset, so adequate protection is vital. Whether you require buildings insurance, contents insurance, or a combination of the two, finding the right insurer is important. Check out our Sainsbury’s Bank home insurance reviews to learn more about the provider and its policies.

Sainsbury’s Bank has two levels of home insurance cover: Standard and Home Plus. Both policies can be strengthened with optional extras, including enhanced cover for both buildings and contents.

Unacceptable service

1
Very frustrating. We have a flood claim that has been approved and agreed which has been running for 8 months. we received an enquiry reg the age of the property after agreeing the settlement figure. We now cannot get a response from the loss adjuster and are completely in the dark and have been for 6 weeks.. I tried talking to Sainsburies for some assistance. But as this element of their process is contracted out, they're not interested and wouldn't even register a complaint Reviewed on: 14th February 2024

Phoned the line for bereavement. - Don’t bother

1
Phoned the line for bereavement.. needed to change my dads name over to my mothers on a joint bank account. I have power of attorney as my mother is old & deaf. Every company was brilliant except Sainsbury. They do nothing y use the access codes & required a copy of the death certificate & copy of power of attorney & to say their attitude was short was an understatement ( yes Gillian at Glasgow). & person previous. The worse company I have dealt with considering it was a name change of a joint account. Reviewed on: 15th January 2024

Appalling customer service-do not use them!

1
I paid monthly for my home insurance & when it was up for renewal I decided to pay it all in one go & did so over the phone, I then cancelled my monthly direct debit with them & went on holiday for 2 weeks. imagine my shock on returning to see 2 letters from them stating that they had cancelled my insurance as I still had 1 months outstanding payment on my DD-so I had been on holiday & my home wasn't even insured! I called them & they were awful, blaming me saying it was my fault etc then they informed me they would return my premium I Had just paid minus £44 for "admin", I kid you not! I argued with them & got nowhere so I sent a letter to their head office plus several emails, nothing, their customer service is absolutely appalling! I dread to think what would have happened had I needed to make a claim with them as they really don't care about their customers, I would never use them again, they are the worse in the business Reviewed on: 13th January 2024
