Home insurance provides essential peace of mind to homeowners, but that doesn't mean all home insurance policies are equally valuable. That's why the experts at Moneyfacts have once again assessed the home insurance market to find out who's worthy of a Moneyfacts Star Rating.
The Moneyfacts Star Ratings for home insurance are based on the weighting of those product features, outside of premiums, that are likely to be the most relevant to homeowners. Due to the extensive analysis done using Moneyfacts' vast knowledge-base, you can be sure that any home insurance policy that has earned a Moneyfacts Star Rating of four or five is a quality choice for your home.
"Ensuring a home and its contents are protected in the event or a major (or minor) disaster is essential if consumers want to avoid potentially crippling costs," commented Moneyfacts Star Ratings & Personal Finance Analytics Manager Samantha Owens. "However, choosing the right policy can be difficult given the number of providers, the range of products and all of the options available.
"The Moneyfacts Annual Home Insurance Star Ratings looks at policies for both the home and its contents, rating highest those policies with the widest range of cover and largest limits, allowing the consumer to focus their search on the best policy they can buy."
For a handy overview of all the companies that have received a Moneyfacts Star Rating of four or five for either home buildings insurance, contents insurance or high net worth insurance, see the tables below.
