Our story
We launched Policy Expert in 2011 because we wanted to put people first. Within two years we became the number 1 rated UK home insurance provider on Review Centre - an accolade we've held ever since.
Today we insure over 425,000 homes across the UK, and are still putting people first. We've been awarded a 5-star rating from Defaqto, and a Crystal Mark from the Plain English campaign for our jargon-free policies. We're also a proud member of the Flood Re scheme that helps people in flood risk areas access affordable flood cover.

Excellent customer service
Excellent customer service , sorted out all my needs ,good price ,used them.for the last few years ,luckily not needed to claim but I have had no problems .
Two generations of cover and peace of mind.
After working my way through several insurance comparison sites Policy Expert came out the clear winner both on price and cover for me so I had no hesitation on taking out home insurance for the year. I always help my elderly mother with her insurances as well and again Policy Expert was a clear value for money winner so we took that out also. We like to use the same companies for ease of communication and to keep things simple so it was reassuring that Policy Expert was competitive for both of our circumstances. We also had need to make telephone contact as I was having IT difficulties and couldn't set up the refer process to claim the very generous £25 voucher promotion. The telephone was answered by a very jolly and helpful gent 'Sebastian' who took care of everything for us. I of course hope that neither of us will need to use our insurance cover but we have great peace of mind knowing that the cover is comprehensive and that there is a friendly and helpful voice that we can speak to on the phone should we need help. Thank you from both generations of the family :)

Simple
Very Easy to use website and very competitive prices, very impressed with the initial service.
Simply the best
Used a comparison site for my home insurance and Policy expert was cheapest on the list. Once transferred to their site I was informed that home emergency cover was at no extra cost. So yes I'm well happy and would highly recommend. The process was fairly simple and fairly quick and I didn't even have to leave my tea go cold.
Good service
Switched my home insurance and it couldn't have been easier. A really simple process and by far the cheapest price reflecting my level of cover required. You can pick and choose bits you need and bits you don't and that's reflected in your price.
Simple and easy
The cover was simple and easy. Very good price and included a lot of extras as standard.
Home insurance renewal
My call to Policy Expert was answered very quickly and I then spoke to an extremely helpful and knowledgeable person who dealt with my call in a very efficient manner. I would thoroughly recommend this Policy Expert.
Would highly recommend
We are absolutely over the moon with our new cover. Incredibly competitive. A big saving each month without compromising the cover we needed. Would recommend to all. Thanks.
Fantastic company!
It's a no brainer really, if you want excellent home and contents insurance at a good price, which doesn't rise every year like most, then policy expert is for you! The renewal process is quick and easy and customer service is very good. What are you waiting for!
Superb quality, service and product
Home buildings and contents insurance at a great price.Wanted to call to check / discuss a few things on the policy. Fast answering of the call - no horribly long queuing, such a pleasant lass dealt with all of my enquiries with efficient courtesy. Very satisfied with the policy details and price - I purchased immediately.
