General Insurance value measures data – comparison 2016/17

We have published general insurance value measures data for 36 insurers (including both UK and EEA firms) for the year ending 31 August 2017.

This follows the first GI value measures data publication in January 2017. This covered data for the year ended 31 August 2016. 

The pilot data covers claims frequencies, claims acceptance rates and average claim pay-outs. The products covered are home (buildings and contents) insurance, home emergency, personal accident and key cover. The data provide users with a broader range of information to assess firms and product value. The GI add-ons market study found that consumers do not have commonly available indicators of value, and some products were poor value.

Read more about our General Insurance value measures pilot.

Interpreting the data

The data will provide consumer groups, consumers and market commentators with additional value indicators for the insurers we regulate. We do not expect the data to inform customers’ purchasing decisions, as consumers are unlikely to review and assess the published data. Consumers buying insurance may use the value measures data, but they should also consider factors like prices, product benefits, breadth of cover, excess levels, complaints volumes, average claims settlement periods and product assessment websites.

There may be further information on the data for individual firms on their websites.

When using these value measures data, you should also be aware of the following data limitations:

  • The data are aggregated
    The value measures data reflect the aggregated data for the individual firms and products. The data will reflect the mix of business undertaken by that firm and may not reflect individual distributor or brand arrangements. It may also not represent individual insurance products purchased by different consumers from the same insurer.
  • The data reflect past performance
    The published data relate to the year ending 31 August 2017. The data may vary in subsequent years. This variation may be caused by a variety of factors.  For instance poor weather conditions such as floods or storms can increase both the frequency of claims and claim pay-outs.
  • Actual claim pay-outs can vary significantly from the average
    The average claim pay-outs include payments to policy beneficiaries and other relevant costs incurred by insurers to resolve claims. For example, services provided when dealing with home emergency. These costs will typically be lower than those of an independent tradesperson appointed by a customer in an emergency situation.
  • Average claims pay-out and claims frequency will be influenced by a variety of factors such as the level and type of cover
    Some insurers may predominately sell specialist or high-end products. In this case the sum insured may be considerably higher, resulting in higher claims costs.
  • There may be differences in the way that firms interpreted the guidance which could make it difficult to compare data between firms
    You can read the information request (PDF) and guidance we gave to firms. The published data excludes rejected claims below the policy excess and rejected claims for fraud walkaways.
  • We made limited changes and clarifications to the information request and guidance provided to firms from the 2016 data request
    This will reduce comparability of data between this dataset and the previous dataset published on 25 January 2017.  For example the definition of an add-on was broadened. We also clarified that enquiries should be excluded from the data, and that the home data should exclude contents only and buildings only policies. Read the information request (PDF)

We also collected information from the pilot firms about the reasons claims are rejected. Some of the common reasons that firms identified included:

  • claims being outside the policy cover due to exclusions in the agreed policy
  • not having cover for the claim
  • claim not covered because it relates to general wear and tear
  • claims not classed as an emergency (for home emergency)
  • claim conditions not met (for example the correct process not followed or supporting documents not provided)
  • claims outside of claim period, or before cover is in place (eg key cover)

Home (combined buildings and contents)

Contracts of insurance against loss or damage to both the structure and contents of domestic properties including cover against risks to the persons insured incurring liabilities to third parties arising out of injuries happening at home. For the purposes of the pilot, this excludes contents-only and buildings-only policies.
