Frequently asked questions
-
Why use a broker?Insurance is complicated and buying the incorrect policy can be costly. At Wesleyan Financial Services, it’s our aim to take the hard work out of finding the right policy for you and your home. Rather than getting quotes from multiple insurance providers, you can just speak to us and let our team invest their time on your behalf to make sure you’re fully protected.
-
I've claimed on other home insurance policies in the past - can you cover me?We work with several insurance providers and even have our own specialist department, so it will depend on their terms and on the claims you’ve previously made. We’re happy to invest our time into finding the best option for you, so the best next step is to speak to our team and discuss your circumstances.
-
I'm looking to build an extension on my house - does this matter?Yes it does. We’d recommend you get in touch with us before you sign any contracts with your contractor/builder, so we can discuss what the insurers will need to know to keep your home insured correctly.
-
When would my cover start?It can start as soon as you take out the policy. Or, if you have a specific date in mind (perhaps you’re about to move to a new home), we can schedule the policy to start at any point within 30 days.
-
How do I pay my premiums?
You can pay for your non-standard home insurance annually or monthly, to suit you. Just ask us what your monthly premiums would be.
Wesleyan Financial Services Limited is a credit broker and where the monthly payment option is taken we will introduce you to Premium Credit Limited. They pay variable commission to us which could impact the interest rate you pay, now or in the future.
-
Will there be an excess on my policy?Yes, like most insurance policies, there is an excess to pay in the event of a claim. However, you can choose what you’d like the excess to be, and we also offer Excess Protect cover which allows you to claim your excess back (limits apply).
-
What is the claims procedure?Any claims you need to make can be made directly through your policy provider. However, we are always available and happy to help if you need any assistance.
-
My home is worth more than £1 million – can you cover me?Homes worth more than £1 million are better suited to our high-value home insurance. You’ll get comprehensive buildings and contents cover designed to protect all your prized possessions.
