Whilst it has cost me more to do so, our policy is now more accurate after acquiring an up to date valuation of the rebuild costs, at your suggestion.

We have always worked with Nick Drew and he is really the most amazing, wonderful and excellent person when it comes to sorting out our slightly complicated insurance needs! Huge thanks to him for always doing a great job

I've just switched to ABG consolidating two landlord policies under one roof. Early days but so far a very positive experience- it makes a refreshing change to have a named individual to deal with (who is also human not a bot!) with a direct dial number and who picks the phone up (or gets back promptly) when I call! So many companies nowadays do anything but.

Insurance renewal

Extremely helpful on the phone when renewing my insurance. The man was able to get me a cheaper deal and came back very quickly to inform me. I never have to wait long on the phone when calling the company.

I don't think this was transparent for the customer. This customer needed so gone to explain charges face to face, and is no longer able to receive reminders online as they cannot use computers or Internet and don't follow information given on the phone.

Sky high price rises by Alan Boswell have increased my…

Alan Boswell have increased my landlords buildings insurance by 19% since last year. In a cost of living crisis, and sky high mortgage rates this is a complete disgrace. Blatant profiteering. Go elsewhere and get lots of other quotes.

We're sorry to hear you weren't happy with the price of your insurance. As a broker we can only work with the quotes available from the insurers we use and unfortunately rates have gone up across the board due to inflationary costs. If you would like us to investigate this further, please contact us at feedback@alanboswell.com.
