Has anyone bought home insurance from Uinsure?

I was wondering if anyone has ever bought buildings/contents cover via Uinsure?

Our broker passed us to what they called a 'specialist home insurance broker' called Uinsure for home insurance quotes.

After they took our details and looking at their panel, Uinsure have recommended buying a policy from.... Uninsure (underwritten by RSA)

Was wondering if anyone has any experience with this company? The quote isnt awful (well, quite a bit higher than buying from the likes of Halixax or Lloyds -via compare the market) and the policy book does seem encouraging. However, its not a company that I was previously aware of and I wasn't expecting them to suggest their own policy.

    Why would you chose more expensive policy from less known provider? Is it a non-standard build property, or is that the terms/cover is better?

    Its bog standard new build with no concerns on the surveys

    I've never had buildings cover before and even though the policy does appear to be very comprehensive and has a strong recommendation from the broker (I am aware of how commision works though) im still tempted to just go on a price comparison site and get a Halifax or Lloyd's policy.

    Just thought I'd ask around and see if anyone had any experiences with Uinsure incase I'm just being cheap

    Uinsure only offer 5* defaqto cover. It does include some very worthwhile options like a high level of trace and access cover, which can be very worthwhile if your home needs to be pulled apart to source a leak, or similar.
