Home Insurance Eligibility Criteria
We can initially offer an indicative price for home insurance. Policy cover and the premiums shown are not guaranteed until you have provided answers to additional eligibility criteria questions at which point your indicative price may change, or we may not be able to provide you with policy cover.

If you do not ensure the information you give us is correct and keep it up to date, your policy cover is not guaranteed. You may also encounter problems such as a change in cover or premium, an invalid or cancelled policy, reduced claim payment, or difficulty buying insurance in the future.
