Comparison caution

The FCA identifies inconsistent reporting in home-insurance claims acceptance. We show the published aggregate as neutral evidence and do not rank firms on it.

How to read it

A higher percentage is normally more favourable, but only among genuinely comparable products.

The proportion of registered claims that were accepted.

Contextual indicator

No good or bad colour is applied because this measure is contextual or subject to a material caveat.
