Customer satisfaction ratings methodology

In December 2023, we ran a customer satisfaction survey on home insurers. 750 people replied and told us their thoughts on their home insurance provider.

The survey asked respondents how satisfied they were with their current insurance company (on a scale from 1 to 5, and also whether they would recommend the brand to a friend or not). We turned the results into star ratings and shortlisted the top-performing brands for our awards. When there was a draw, we used the recommendation score (that is, the percentage of customers who said they’d recommend the brand to a friend) as a tie-breaker.

Full details of our star ratings for this sector are on the insurance ratings methodology page.
