Home Insurance Quote Form
A home insurance quote form needs to know the building before the contents. Age, construction, roof type and flood history rate the policy; the contents value just sizes it.
For brokers, agents and insurance teams.
Flood and subsidence are the questions that decide insurability
Most home quotes are routine. The ones that aren't are decided by two facts: whether the property has flooded, and whether there's been movement. Either can mean a referral, a loading or a decline - and discovering them after a quote has been given is a bad conversation.
So they're asked early here, alongside construction type and roof material. It also asks about unoccupied periods, which is the most commonly breached condition in home insurance and almost never volunteered.
Fewer calls, better numbers
A phone call is a fine way to build trust and a terrible way to collect specifications - nobody remembers everything, and nothing is written down. Collect the facts in writing first, and use the call for the part that actually needs a human.
You'll also stop quoting jobs you didn't want: when the form asks about budget and timing, the mismatches disqualify themselves.
Enough detail to quote, not enough to be a nuisance
Quoting needs specifics - cover type, value, dates, claims history - and every extra question loses people. The answer is to ask the ones that change the premium and nothing else, in one short pass.
Claims and renewals work the same way: ask the facts that let you act, keep it short enough that a stressed client finishes it, and have it in writing from the start.
Price the right jobs
Every quote costs you time whether or not you win it. Asking about budget and timing up front isn't rude - it's how both sides avoid a week of conversation about a job that was never going to happen.

Questions
How do customers estimate contents value?
Offer bands and give a hint - most three-bedroom homes are higher than people guess. Under-insurance is the most common problem in a contents claim.
Should we ask about high-value items?
Yes, with a threshold. Single items above a limit usually need specifying, and asking prevents a claim being reduced for an unspecified ring.
Can I ask for photos or files?
Not yet - uploads are on the roadmap. In the meantime, most people ask for a link to photos, or reply to the response with an email asking for them. Everything else about the job is captured here.
Can I see where each quote request came from?
Yes. Add a hidden tracking parameter to the link (for example one link on your site and another on your Google profile) and it's stored with the response.
How fast can I put this live?
About a minute. Pick the template, change the wording, press save - saving is publishing - and you get a link to share.
Is it suitable for claims information?
For dates, descriptions and contact details, yes, and the timestamped record is useful. Don't collect full bank details or identity documents through a web form; ask for those through a channel designed for it.
