If you call LLoyds TSB Home Insurance quote lines, you'll be talking to Bournemouth. Now you may well think that if you take a policy with Lloyds TSB, you'll be with Lloyds TSB and I'll be dealing with Bournemouth.

Not quite......listen carefully to the salesman and ask them to repeat anything you dont hear. This is why;

Lloyds TSB Home Insurance will quote you THROUGH Lloyds TSB but a different underwriter may handle your policy, and you'll need to deal with them. The bit that will through you off is that the paper will still be headed Lloyds TSB but will be with someone else. If you call the Customer Services deparment in Bournemouth, they'll be unable to help, but they are very helpful and will put you through to the right department.
The reason this is done is all good, to save you money!

The current underwriters on Lloyds TSB panel are:

Alliance Cornhil
AXA
Royal and Sun Alliance
Norwich Union
MMA
Zurich
Fortis
Groupama

They are all good insurance companies so you do have the peace of mind there.

Another good point of the Lloyds TSB policies is that their excess on ALL claims, that except of subsidence, is £50. Pretty good really, and also you never lose your whole no claims discount, just a percentage depndant on the size of the claim.

The coverage is all very good, but do make sure you listen to the cover your getting because you will be confused when the schedules come through, although you do get a policy booklet, who, to be honest, really ever reads them?

All in all, LLoyds TSB are a safe bet, they're sales department offer you choices rather than take it or leave it, they're customer services department are alwats willing to go the extra mile and also the claims are always setlled very quickly. Along with Lloyds TSB also being a big brand name you have the peace of mind they'll never go bust over night!

I'm moving in a few days so I phoned LloydsTSB Insurance to ask them to terminate my buildings policy. I give my details nd they ask my address which I give them. The very nice guy says that it's the wrong address! I say that it's where I have lived and had insured with them for 6 years. He says that my policy doesn't cover that address. After some toing and froing we finally establish that the temporary place I am going to is what is covered by the insurance!!!

It turns out that when I changed my address on my LloydsTSB bank account details this updated a 'common database' which updated the house that was being insured with LloydsTSB Insurance! So without saying anything to me LloydsTSB had 'uninsured' me with my current home and insured me with a totally different house (much bigger) without telling me!!!

Beware!

There are two outcomes to this:

1) Lloyds TSB made a mistake. They would then honour all claims made against this property as it was their mistake.

2) You made a mistake. In this case, you would have to pay for any claims made against this property.

Given that you have been living in a much bigger house (according to you) for the past few years, you have probably been getting a good deal on your house insurance. Whatever price you paid, you haven't had any reason to claim. Insurance companies aren't liable for undercharging you (you said the house you should have been insured on is much bigger). I don't think they have to refund you anything for this ... if you had a claim to make, then this would be much more complicated.

Bruce. I think you misunderstood ... the house I'm moving from is a 3 bedroom house and the house I'm going to is a 4 bedroom house. More than this the house I'm going to is just temporary until I get into my true next home. So I didn't want to be insured where I was going at all as it's not my house (my mother rambles around in it!).

My point is how dare LloydsTSB change the house I am insuring just because I changed the address of my bank account! And if I hadn't found out and there had been a claim on my 3 bedroom house before I moved out would I have been covered? (I suspect that Lloyds would have owned up as they would not have had an instruction from me on the insurance to change).
