About the company
We founded Homeprotect on a simple principle - to provide protection to people underserved by the home insurance industry. We insure people who want to build or buy a unique property, renovate, rent a home, or leave it unoccupied. We cover those who travel a lot, run a business from home, or collect rare treasures. We protect people who love living in a listed building, having a view of a river, or sunbathing on a flat roof. Our smart tech enables instant, online quotes for a wide range of complex needs, and our UK customer support teams provide personal assistance. Homeprotect empowers hundreds of thousands of people to protect their homes and the things they love. We believe there is no such thing as 'standard' insurance - everyone is unique, and we design coverage with individual needs in mind.
