About Homelyfe
Homelyfe was created because of the founders’ own experiences when buying and managing insurance. The founders, Peter and Andrew, were fed up with complicated, long-winded and out-of-date processes, for something as important as protecting your favourite things.
So they set to work building Homelyfe, using technology to make insurance simple. The way it should be.
They’ve selected leading insurance providers to work with, based on their competitive rates and expertise, and they bid for your business, offering their best deals so that you can compare quotes like for like. This way, you get the right cover at the right price.
From the app you can do everything from browsing quotes and purchasing, to managing multiple insurance policies and even making a claim. So no more paperwork. And when it’s time to renew they’ll automatically search to see if there’s a better option out there. Just one example of the little things they do to save you time and money.
