Legal & General’s general insurance business has joined the home insurer panel at Gocompare.com.

It means its customers will have direct access to Essentials and Extra home insurance cover.

Essentials is designed for relatively simple insurance demands for people such as those renting, those just starting on the property ladder and young families.
