Leading consumer magazine Which? has again named Gloucestershire-headquartered Ecclesiastical’s home insurance as a ‘best buy’ for the third year in a row.
Which?, a leading consumer champion, independently rates thousands of products every year awarding the accolades Best Buy, Don’t Buy, Great Value, Eco Buy and Recommended Provider ratings to products and services.
And it has rated Gloucester-based Ecclesiastical’s ‘Set Sum Insured’ and ‘Sum Insured’ home insurance policies as Best Buys.
The Best Buy recommendation is only awarded to products and services that receive high scores during thorough testing by independent experts, representing the best in their category.
Which? analyses and rates 40 aspects of buildings cover, 44 areas of contents cover and 25 features in both policies before awarding star ratings and, for the products that score highest, a Best buy recommendation.
This latest positive rating of Ecclesiastical’s home insurance product follows on from the specialist insurer topping Fairer Finance’s Home Insurance league tables for the 21st successive time in the Spring, helping to reaffirm Ecclesiastical’s position as a high-quality provider of home insurance cover.
Richard Coleman, managing director at Ecclesiastical Insurance, said: “I’m delighted to once again receive a Best Buy rating for our home insurance products from Which?.
“Our ambition is to be the most trusted and respected specialist insurance company, and this recognition will help new and existing customers recognise Ecclesiastical as an insurer that provides not only comprehensive cover, but the peace of mind that our team of experts will support them through their claim should the worst happen.
“As part of the charity owned Benefact Group, our home insurance policies help to fund good causes in the UK.
“By doing business with us, our customers are helping to support our goal of doubling our contribution to good causes, transforming lives and communities for the better.”
