Insuristic is a digital first insurance broker. This means most of our products can be easily purchased online. We make insurance less complicated and tailored to your needs. Which gives you the confidence that your insurance should respond if you need it to. So you will find that the questions we ask during a quotation are relevant to you. Plus many of our products have been developed specifically for a niche market, such as insurance for unoccupied properties during probate.What's more, there are no hidden costs. We don't take big commission from our insurers nor do we charge you fees. This means we don't charge you or your clients to receive, change or cancel an insurance policy.We are committed to transparency. We tell you what we earn up front in our terms of business agreement, which we provide when you get a quote from us.Insuristic can also help Probate Professionals embed Insurance into their proposition. We have solutions for FCA exempt and non-regulated firms.
