I've never had to actually make a claim via CIA and hopefully never will, so I can only comment on the interactions I've had with them regarding renewals/communication/admin.
They're always professional, polite and helpful, good communication and competitive. I would recommend them.

Very knowledgeable

Very knowledgeable, kind and patient operative. Helpful and easy to understand. It did not take long to get through to a caller, some companies you are waiting more than half an hour.

CIA Landlord Insurance was…

CIA Landlord Insurance was competitively priced and I had good service with them. My policy was cancelled as I sold the property and it was disappointing to be charged a £30 admin fee for the privilege especially as I had been a client for a number of years.

Ripped off

I had 3 landlord insurance policies with CIA over a 10 year period. I made no claims and paid in full every year.
3 years ago I had a car drive into one of the properties. Completely the drivers fault, police attended, reported, admitted guilt, all recorded on video with witnesses.
CIA then started chaging me an extra £1,000 per year for the same insurance. I was promised that on completing the claim, this would be returned. It was not. So I am out of pocket well over £2,000 plus dozens of hours of trying to communicate with CIA. They can not have been less helpful. The story is long and drawn out, suffice to say, I did not receive my money back. There are lots of insurance companies out there. This one is designed to be unhelpful. I would avoid. If you read this CIA, I am still awaiting the phone call that you promised me.

Excellent service at competitive pricing

I have used this company for the last 4 years.
I am always treated with understanding and respect and all information given is very clear. I am updated with any changes to policy and advised of any extra cover available if I should wish to purchase. Excellent service.
