Good price and easy to buy BUT Good price and easy to buy BUT Sainsbury’s are not doing house insurance in the future (hence why a low “recommend to others” score. Reviewed on: 6th September 2025

Review of the Sainsburys Bank, Home insurance:

Payment method failed and left uninsured

1
So their renewal offer said they would try to collect payment 5 days before renewal but 19 hrs it’s expiry (19:27 in the evening) they email to say that the payment failed. I called the next morning to be advised that since the renewal did not take place the policy has been cancelled and the time period, now barely 36hrs, means that the policy cannot even be reinstated. I was then advised to obtain a new quote. Of course everyone knows trying to shop around for insurance at the last minute it’s super expensive and so SainsburyBank Insurance just cost me a load of stress and worry for being uninsured and the extra to purchase some last minute insurance. It’s almost as though they are closing the unit and don’t want the business. well good bye Sainsbury’s. Reviewed on: 17th October 2023

Buying insurance without hassle

Originally buying house insurance online as it worked out cheaper than buying by phone but I had to check a question and contacted by phone. Girl offered to complete the transaction I said it was cheaper online, no problem she let me have it at the online price. Was very pleasant all the way through. Reviewed on: 24th December 2015
