Uinsure launches new-build data service

Published on

Unsure has introduced a new-build data service for the UK.

This follows the roll-out of its new quote system in June, which only requires advisers to input the applicant’s name, date of birth and postcode before returning a quote.

The data set features the details of thousands of new-build properties across the UK, the firm said. This data has now been uploaded to the Uinsure system, meaning that the details of these new-build properties will be pre-populated once the postcode has been entered.

Paul Kelly (pictured), director of product development at Uinsure, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be able to deliver the UK’s best new-build data service, it’s the first of many enhancements to our new system that gives Advisers more time to advise.

“What’s really exciting about this development is that the data set is totally unique to Uinsure, as it’s been created in partnership with our exclusive data partner. It’s a real statement of intent from all of us at Uinsure and it has further cemented our position as being the number one GI provider for new-builds in the UK, as well as the market as a whole.”

David Smith, chief innovation officer at Uinsure, added: “As a result of our new-build data service, more households will be protected with 5 Star-Rated Defaqto cover – which will help to reduce the UK’s protection gap. We are on a mission to make selling GI as easy as possible and increase the current very low conversion rate between mortgage and GI sale – everyone wins.”
