Legal & General, the FTSE 100 financial services group and leading home insurance provider, has today launched SmartQuote - the simple, easy to use and mobile friendly to get a household insurance quote.

In just five simple questions and about 90 seconds, customers can get a household insurance quote.

One of those questions includes asking for the customer’s address, with the hardest question a customer has to answer being: “How many claims have you had in the last five years?”.

Cheryl Agius, CEO of Legal & General’s General Insurance division, said: “Gone are the endless questions you are asked just to get your home insurance quote: “What year was your property built?” or “What type of locks do you have?”. We want to eliminate the frustration for customers who may have to make a claim only to discover that they hadn’t disclosed the correct information when they originally applied. What used to involve many questions, some of which they may not know the answer to, and take up lots of customer time now happens in minutes and seconds.”

Technology and big data drives everything on SmartQuote. Legal & General continues to invest in data and technology and has partnered with Landmark who has access to 90% of land surveys in the UK, using over 400 data points available to create a combined view of a customer’s property.

Cheryl Agius concluded: “We believe SmartQuote will revolutionise the sector and encourage more customers to use this mobile technology to get a home insurance quote in seconds. For our customers, knowing the insurer has got the data on their property they need to provide a quote takes that uncertainty away. Everyone wins.”

The days of endless questions to get home insurance quotes are over. SmartQuote is simple, easy to use and mobile friendly.
