Why Nesto
Why use a Home Insurance Broker?
Comparison websites cover around 60% of the home insurance market. The remaining 40% — including Lloyd's syndicates and specialist insurers — is only accessible through brokers. For standard homes, comparison sites work well. But for listed buildings, non-standard construction, high-value contents, flood-risk properties, or large homes, a specialist broker finds cover that comparison sites simply can't provide.
🏠
Beyond comparison sites
Access specialist insurers, Lloyd's syndicates and niche products unavailable on aggregator sites.
🔍
Right cover, not cheapest
The cheapest policy isn't always the best. Your broker ensures you're properly covered for what matters.
🏛️
Listed & unusual properties
Specialist cover for listed buildings, thatched roofs, timber frames and other non-standard construction.
💎
High-value contents
Adequate cover for art, jewellery, collections and other high-value items that standard policies underinsure.

Got Questions?
Frequently asked questions about Home Insurance Brokers
Buildings is usually required by your mortgage lender. Contents is optional but strongly recommended. Many policies offer a discount for combining both.
Based on the rebuild cost — not the market value. These are very different figures. An online rebuild calculator or RICS surveyor will give you an accurate figure. Underinsurance is a common and costly mistake.
Yes, but premiums will be higher for 3–5 years. Your broker will find insurers who treat claims history most favourably for your specific situation.
Standard policies typically exclude cover after 30–60 days of unoccupancy. If your home is empty (holiday, probate, renovation), your broker will find an unoccupied property policy.
An add-on that covers unintentional damage, such as spilling wine on a carpet or drilling through a pipe. Usually worth adding if you have children or active occupants.
Flood cover is included in most standard policies, but may be excluded for known flood-risk properties. Your broker specialises in finding flood cover for high-risk properties.
Standard home insurance won't cover let properties. You need landlord insurance, which covers different risks including loss of rent and liability to tenants. Your broker will arrange the right product.
Typical exclusions: wear and tear, gradual damage, most mechanical breakdown, damage by vermin, and damage while the property is unoccupied. Your broker will highlight key exclusions.
Contents policies often include limited garden cover. Specialist garden cover for expensive outdoor furniture, garden equipment or landscaping is available as an add-on.
Standard policies often lapse during major works. Your broker will arrange a renovation or self-build policy that covers both the works and the existing property.
An add-on covering emergency callouts for boiler breakdown, plumbing failures, electrical issues and lockouts. Your broker can compare standalone policies versus insurer add-ons.
Many insurers reward claim-free years with lower premiums. Some policies protect your no-claims discount. Your broker will find policies that maximise any existing discount.
Buildings insurance covers the structure of your home (walls, roof, floors, fitted kitchens). Contents insurance covers your belongings inside. Most homeowners need both — often combined in a single policy. Renters only need contents insurance. A broker finds the right combined cover at the best price.
Buildings insurance is based on the rebuild cost of your property — not its market value. The rebuild cost (what it would cost to completely rebuild from scratch) is typically lower than market value. Under-insuring is a common and costly mistake. A broker helps calculate the correct figure.
Standard policies cover certain water damage (escape of water from pipes), but flood cover from external sources can be harder to obtain in high-risk areas. A specialist broker can access insurers willing to cover flood-risk properties, often with a specific flood excess.
