24 Aug 2025We are currently in the process of purchasing a property and required suitable insurance as part of the process. We were fortunate to be assisted by Evie Giles-Phillips from First2Protect, who has been exceptionally kind, patient, and professional throughout. Evie took the time to understand our needs and guided us in selecting the insurance policy that best suits our circumstances. Her knowledge and experience were evident, and she made what could have been a stressful task feel straightforward and manageable. In addition, she offered to send our insurance documents directly to our solicitors at the appropriate time, which has given us added peace of mind and one less thing to worry about during this busy period. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with the service we received—from the competitive pricing to the high standard of customer care. We are very grateful to Evie for her support and would highly recommend her and First2Protect to others.

22 Aug 2024I have been with this company for a few years and they have been brilliant. I would particularly like to mention Sean who was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and gave me fantastic information about a new insurance policy. I did consider going elsewhere as I did get a cheaper quote but after a lengthy and informative conversation with Sean I will be staying with First 2 Protect for my insurance. Thank you Sean and the rest of the team.

19 Jul 2024I've been using First 2 Protect for over 7 years. They have been brilliant! Anytime I've had a problem or a claim they have been there to help. They have always made certain I get the best coverage, not only with my home but my rental as well. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

12 Jul 2024Doubled costs out of the blue and were then virtually uncontactable. In the end we changed insurance and stopped the direct debit following emails asking them to cancel, we were then issued with a late fee and a lot of admin fees as they'd taken a credit out on renewal to pay for the year. They said there is small print in the first policy that we agree to all future renewals and credit applications in our name. The man we eventually spoke to was beyond rude- which is silly because we will now steer well clear in future. Thank goodness we never had to claim!

UK buy-to-let repossessions have risen by 10% in Q4 2025, with landlords facing higher mortgage repayments due to rising interest rates. Landlords with a £250,000 mortgage face an annual repayment increase of £1,975.

Rents outside London have flatlined for the first time since 2017, potentially impacting landlords. With increased borrowing costs and stagnant rents, landlords could face squeezed profits.

Buy-to-let lending increased by 18.2% in Q4 2025, driven by landlords refinancing existing loans. This led to increased rental yields and lower interest rates, benefiting landlords.
