Widespread misconceptions could mean your home insurance policy isn’t up to scratch

Home insurance may seem like a chore to deal with, but it’s an essential protection. So, why are so many homeowners having their claims rejected?

In this episode, Which? insurance expert Dean Sobers shares some data which shows that almost a third of home insurance claims are being declined.

Dean explains how Which? research has identified widespread misconceptions around what policies cover, leading to customers lacking the protection they thought they had.

We share our best advice on how to get the best protection for your home, plus Dean reveals this year’s crop of Which? Recommended Providers and Best Buy policies.
