Price comparison site launches new home insurance service

uSwitch.com, the price comparison and switching service, is expanding its range of insurance services with the launch of its new home insurance comparison channel.

The channel is powered by insurance broker Outright and offers home insurance quotations for 98% of the market.

Its panel of insurers cover 40 different home insurance schemes enabling consumers to choose the right home insurance policy for their requirements.

Ashton Berkhauer, insurance manager at uSwitch.com, said: “The insurance channel has been a huge success for uSwitch.com since it launched last year.

"Home insurance, as the second largest general insurance product in the UK, was the natural next step for the progression of the service. With last year’s summer floods leading to more than 27,500 claims and estimated damage of more than £1 billion, having the right insurance product for your home has never been so important.

The uSwitch.com service will cover both those with a standard home to those with higher risk and specialist properties, such as those built in flood risk areas. We believe that everyone deserves to get the best product available for their needs.”
