sentinel extra house insurance, never heard of them,but they seem very cheap and i'm suspicious

Sentinel Extra is a policy underwritten by Ageas Insurance Ltd and offered through brokers.

Other than this, I can't help any further. The broker I worked for didn't offer this product.

Out of interest, which broker have you got the quote through?

If as glider3560 says, Sentinel Extra is underwritten by Ageas Insurance Ltd then there you should no cause for concern. Ageas own R.I.A.S. (the over 50s insurer) & they also provide all types of general insurance (over 50s insurance) for Age UK.

A Google search for Ageas comes up with their website. They were formerly known as Fortis. It appears that they were awarded the title ''General Insurer Of The Year 2011 - British Insurance Awards''.

You are aware that Cavendish also charge a £25 commission?

I am unable to get their website to show a policy document or Key Facts. I certainly wouldn't buy any policy without reading the policy summary as a minimum!

When i used to work for Rbs/Natwest, Sentinel Insurance used to get sold to clients with credit cards.

It was a few years back when i worked there so i cant remember what it was for exactly but i think it was just general insurance to cover maybe household items? Dont quote me on that though as it has been a while.

Sentinel (offered by banks) is a product offered by Affinion International Ltd. It covers things like ID fraud and credit card fraud. This is a completely different product.

Yes, i read that part. Am also aware they don't offer cashback through the many sites out there.

I didn't look for those, so a good point.
Thanks
