The Go Compare People's Choice Awards 2022 Home Insurance winners revealed

The Go Compare People's Choice awards 2022 have revealed the best home insurance providers in the UK across a range of categories according to customers. Both NatWest and Nationwide proved the value of their home insurance scooping up outstanding awards across the board.

The People's Choice Awards is a new consumer-led award from the comparison website Go Compare. If you're looking to invest in home insurance it can be difficult to know where to start, especially if you're still working out what home insurance covers. However, the awards have been designed to focus on customer experience and help people choose the best provider for them.

'Home insurance can be an emotive purchase – after all, you’re protecting your home and everything within it, so getting the right product is really important,' says Hannah Isitt, home insurance expert at GoCompare. 'From your gadgets to your furniture and even the plants in your garden, home insurance is there to provide peace of mind when the worst happens.'

'The awards have been developed to help guide people through the market and, having been compiled from a survey of over 20,000 people, the results are pretty robust. While you don’t want to overpay for your home insurance, it’s good to review what’s out there and make sure that you don’t skimp on the cover as it could cost you more in the long run.'

Each company was measured across eight pillars including customer satisfaction, claims handling, renewals and trust. The results were based solely on the vote of the consumer to determine the quality of each insurance provider.

Here are the winning Home Insurance providers who received 'outstanding' in each pillar:
