NHI Home Protect

Hi,

Does anyone know anything about this company? I just did a search on InsureSupermarket.com and they came out about half the price of anything else (146.25 is the actual quote when I go through their site for buildings and contents). Seems to include all the stuff I want e.g. accidental damage, low excess.

Does anyone know anything good or bad about them??

exactly the same experience for me. My quote was 150 below all the others. any feeback please!

And another one here. Buildings only insurance £50 cheaper than the next quote.

Although I've read it before, that you don't know how good an insurance is until you have to make a claim on it!

Well I took the plunge. £120 for buildings only.

I needed to get cover from today, exchanged contracts this morning, with another 6 weeks until completion.

Looked through the policy wording and couldn't see anything to worry about. The company is registered by the FSA.

Fingers crossed that I will not have to claim.

I joined them 6mths ago, seem like a reputable company, no one has heard from them as they mainly do all there business via brokers.

I've been shelling out for insurance, all the usual ie Buildings, Contents, car, health etc for years and years. have NEVER claimed anything on any of them. A while back I had a problem with water leaking in from my roof. The bottom line seems to be that my insurance company, Norwich Union are denying my claim even tho I had a top of the range policy with accidental damage etc. Wont bore you all with all the details but I assure you the claim is valid. So my feelings are, you may as well go for the little unknown companies because the household names in insurance will do ANYTHING to avoid paying out. I certainly won't make the mistake again of thinking a big name means a sound approach to a problem. Good luck.

Growing company and trying to increase their profile at the moment (possibly why the premiums are low). Can be purchased directly from the webmoney.co.uk site.

As always though, the acid test is claims service.

I think I'm going to take the plunge.

Norwich Union want £520, buildings and contents. Home Protect want £288, which also includes £400 bicycle cover not quoted on the N.U. renewal. Like others I have never made a claim in over 20 years - wouldn't it be sod's law to need to this year However, I can't find anyting bad about them, so here's hoping
