Magnet Insurance
At Magnet we offer a range of residential property insurance products at affordable premiums. Many of our products are available on the internet with instant on-line quotation and our insurance professionals are always happy to deal with phone queries and special requirements.

Services
Our philosophy is simple but effective and is founded upon building a strong partnership between our clients, insurers and ourselves. Our vision is to deliver quality insurance solutions and an exceptional service to our clients while providing solid underwriting returns through sound and professional underwriting.
Some properties have unusual construction, history or usage that makes it difficult to find insurance. At Magnet, we offer competitively priced cover for most types of property. We can also provide cover where you have an adverse home insurance history or your individual circumstances means you struggle to obtain home insurance.
In the event that your home or let property becomes unoccupied for an extended period of time (normally 30 consecutive days), standard buildings insurance may not cover the property. Specialist Unoccupied property insurance can cover your property against a range of risks, including fire, lightning, explosion and vandalism.
Home renovations increase the risk of damage, theft, accidents and personal injury. As a result, many home insurers may withdraw or reduce cover for the duration of the renovation. Failure to notify your insurance provider before the work starts could invalidate your home insurance policy, leaving you unprotected should something go wrong.
Modelrailwayinsurance.co.uk is a trading division of Magnet and provides a range of bespoke insurance products for Model Railway Collectors, Clubs, Societies and Traders. Our management team have been looking after the interests of the model railway scheme's policyholders for several years, initially as part of Taylor McGill and now with Magnet Insurance.

I am currently trying to deal with their claims department which is handled by third party Davies Group. The staff are not proactive. They never call back. I am doing all the chasing. I am asked questions which only a psychic could answer. The staff come across like they've lost the will to live and really can't be bothered and couldn't care less. So the moral of the story is, no point in having cheap insurance if you get absolutely no response or help if you need to make a claim!

Easy to complete the online questionnaire and pleasantly surprised at the eventual quote which was accepted. After acceptance the documents arrived very quickly and were clear, concise and complete.

Magnet seemed good value, I have some issues around my property that need clarification from the underwriters, one year they were totally happy and gave me cover, this year they totally refused me cover on grounds irrelevant to my property, but exactly the same points as previous year when they were happy with the situation. Very disappointed in their lack of consistency

Absolutely disgraceful company. This is just a broker and will expect you the purchaser of the insurance policy to chase any tradesmen needed for repairs yourself!! They won't even communicate between the tradespeople they want you to use. Ie, plumber and repair service but insist on passing out many different phone numbers. We have had to chase reports etc.
I have never had such poor service and definitely won't ever use them again!!

I have never had to make a claim, but Magnet Insurance has a good reputation amongst friends who own model railways and the cost has remained the same for 6 years! I just had a quote for house insurance which saved me 10% against my previous insurer.

This is the second year that I've been with Magnet and the service has been good every time that I've spoken to an advisor, my renewal was cheaper than last year so what made me happy.
The person I spoke with was lovely and went out their way to help me.
Ive never made a claim so don't know how easy the process is but I assume it would be fine based on their service before.

Came across this company through a comparison website and I do think it offers great value for money. Compared to my current home insurance they were several hundred pounds cheaper. Hopefully I won't be making a claim but if I did, hopefully the service would be good.

Very helpful staff member who took time to make sure I had the right cover. Definitely would recommend them. I saved a lot of money too but still got good cover.

Difficult to review an insurance company unless you have made a claim. They seem good and have good reviews. I always try calling customer services before buying insurance, just to see how quickly they answer. They answered straight away and were very helpful. UK based customer services.
