The friendly insurance experts
We're the UK's fastest-growing and highest-rated home insurance provider
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’re trusted by half a million customers across the UK, and we’re still putting people first. We’ve been awarded a Crystal Mark from the Plain English campaign for our jargon-free policies. We’ve also won a number of coveted industry accolades, including the Insurance Choice Award for Best Home Insurance Provider, the only award decided by customer votes.

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.
