Home insurance with no hidden fees

With no admin fees for paying monthly, changing your policy or even cancelling it, Clydesdale Bank Home Insurance is trustworthy and transparent.

The five-star treatment

It’s easy for other providers to shout about their discounts and short-term deals. But our home cover has substance as well as style - there are no hidden costs lurking around the corner. It’s also been rated five-star by Moneyfacts for a fantastic four years running.

You can personalise your cover so you know the important things are insured properly. We offer optional extras and you only pay for what you need. Don’t have a garden? Don’t fork out for the cover. It’s that simple.

  • No extra charge for paying by monthly direct debit.
  • No admin fees. Unlike some other insurers, if you make a change to your policy or cancel, we won’t sting you for it.
  • Straight-up cover – you only pay for what you need.
  • 10% discount for new home insurance customers.
  • Up to 4 years no claims discount*
  • If you qualify for both the new customer and no claims discount, the new customer discount will be applied to the original quote first and the no claims discount then applied to the discounted total.[2] Link to footnote
  • Moneyfacts five-star rated home insurance.
  • Core cover for buildings up to £400,000 as standard, contents up to £50,000 as standard – or choose both.

* Discount varies by number of years claim free. Maximum discount is 25% for 4 years no claims.

Don’t wait for your renewal date. Switch today and we’ll refund your cancellation fee

As a new Clydesdale Bank Home Insurance customer, we’ll cover any cancellation cost from your previous insurer – as long as your new policy doesn’t start later than 30 September 2020 and isn’t cancelled within the first 14 days.

To qualify for the refund, your new policy must be in the same name as the policy being cancelled. And the type of cover - such as combined building & contents – also has to be the same. The switcher claims form (PDF, link opens in a new window) must be submitted no later than 90 days after the cancellation charge from your previous policy with the accompanying evidence.

To make a claim, complete the form as per the instructions and email to cancellation.refund@uk.rsagroup.com or post to RSA, Level 2, Newhall Place, Old Hall Street, Liverpool, L69 3EN. View the full T&Cs. This offer can be withdrawn at any time.

Footnotes

[1] Based on all Clydesdale Bank Home Insurance policies renewed between October 15 and August 19.

[2] For example, if you qualify for both 10% new customer discount and 25% 4 years no claims discount, then 10% will be applied first to the original quote. The additional 25% reduction will then be applied to the discounted total e.g. if quote was £100, 10% discount brings total to £90 minus 25% = final price of £67.50.
