Context, not a quality ranking
Home acceptance comparisons need caution

The FCA says firms may report home-insurance acceptance inconsistently. Acceptance bands are shown without favourable colour or ranking.

2024 was restated in the 2025 workbook

Both years use the FCA snapshot held on 5 May 2026. Values may differ from the earlier 2024 publication after firm resubmissions.

Historical evidence

The FCA says this data may not reflect products and prices available today and is not designed to select an insurance product by itself.
