Gocompare.com: Defaqto home insurance report

Hayley Parsons, Chief Executive of Gocompare.com, comments: "We welcome the Defaqto report and its findings. It sends a clear message to consumers that true comparison sites should offer more than just a list of cheapest prices and hopefully it will also be a wake up call to other so called aggregators that they need to sharpen up their act. Gocompare.com is one of the five comparison sites Defaqto has highlighted as being true aggregators for home insurance and we're very proud of the service and information we provide.

"There are greater challenges for aggregators offering home insurance than there are for car insurance. Home insurance is a more complex product and a lack of common policy wording across brokers and insurers does sometimes make it harder for aggregators to put together adequate question sets. However, this shouldn't be an excuse for offering an inferior service. Comparison websites have enabled consumers to find the right policy and save hundreds of pounds a year on their car insurance and there are similar savings to be made when it comes to home insurance renewals."
