Securing custom is priority for brokers, says Uinsure

The research found over two thirds of brokers would consider reducing their commission to secure business with a client if they obtained a home insurance quote that was slightly too expensive.

The survey also asked brokers to rank criteria in order of importance when selling home insurance for their customers. Price was ranked as the most important followed by cover features and claims performance.

Simon Taylor, chief executive at Uinsure, said: “It's encouraging to see how much brokers value getting their clients the best deal in order to secure custom.

“At Uinsure we understand there`s a need to strike a balance between the delivery of the best available premium and the offer of a fair broker reward. We always take on board the views of the brokers and strive to deliver a strong service support. Thanks to this survey and other feedback received we will shortly be making some important changes to our proposition. Uinsure has a clear aim to provide brokers with the best GI tools so clients receive the best quality cover at the most competitive price”.
