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.

Helpful and polite

The person I dealt with was very polite and helpful. He checked we were happy with the policy and that the cover it provided was sufficient for our needs.

The person (Elsa? Ella? Elisa?) was sooo helpful.
She made it super easy and took time to explain everything.
I will definitely use them again next year.

Landlord Insurance

I have used Alan Boswell for my Buy to Let insurance cover for several years. In 2021 I needed to claim for “rent guarantee” since the tenant had stopped paying. So, for 9 months, until the tenant was evicted I depended on the insurance cover I had purchased through Alan Boswell. They had placed the cover with Royal and Sun Alliance (RSA) and my monthly claims were administered through a processing company, Legal LIM. The payments were always late sometimes by as much as 2 months and were never paid on the same day in the month, twice. I depend on the rent to cover my bills, so I became overdrawn at my bank. It was a nightmare to have to chase all 3 companies every month, by phone and email. RSA hid behind Legal LIM who soaked up all my ire. I was awarded compensation from Legal LIM for inexcusable service. Alan Boswell, to be fair, did answer the phone and respond to emails, but they were impotent in the face of stonewalling from Legal LIM and RSA.

Hi Mr AHL,
We're sorry to hear that your experience wasn't up to standard. Unfortunately, due to the claims being handled by Legal LIM the date of payment is out of our control. We have passed your review onto LIM and would like to thank you for making us aware of this situation as it is not the high standard of customer service we strive for.

If you would like to talk about this further then please email your concerns to marketing@alanboswell.com.

UPDATE: We have recently taken our rent guarantee product in house and are no longer working with LIM and RSA.
