    Defaqto seem to be star ratings like for hotels; does it have pool. garage etc.
    I have always looked at Which, but had a thought this morning; how many people nowadays subscribe to which. It cant be that many. So how accurate are they (Ithink their ratings are for quality of claim handling).

    Excellent way of describing them. Think I will steal that I idea if I may ha ha
    Happiness, Health and Wealth in that order please!:A

    I would forget Defaqto. There are nothing more than an advertising agency. They are not even regulated to be able to give an opinion. Shame really as the idea of someone being able to pick a policy based on real benefits is fab. Shame, a real wasted opportunity.

    I would stick to Which? Far more open and far more realistic. Also impartial.

    I work in a form of insurance ish. We have never heard anything but good things about Saga, LV and NFU. Not to say that there are not other good ones but I know I insure my home with one of them.

    In the end, I've chosen one of the top ratings from Which report, using moneysupermarket. Thanks for all advice and suggestions.
