HOME RISK CALCULATOR
(100% free to use)
You’ll get some practical actions to protect your home – helping to reduce the risk of needing to make a claim and potentially lowering your insurance premium too.
We’ll use the information you provide to look at the risks for properties like yours in your area, based on the information we have about nearby properties. We may use national average risk data for your property’s risk report if we don’t have specific data for your property’s circumstances.
We made this tool to help you protect your home and belongings by giving you a personalised risk score and tips to lower your risks. A ‘low’ or ‘very low’ risk rating doesn’t mean zero risk, and any actions you take are your choice. This tool provides general guidance only—it’s not financial or insurance advice and won’t impact your policy, premium, or claims.
Developed by our team of UK home insurance specialists, this tool uses data from properties like yours in your postcode. If specific data for your property type isn’t available, the calculator will default to the national average for similar homes.
If you’ve ever searched for answers to questions like “How do I check if my property is at risk of flooding?”, or “How do I check subsidence risk?”, then this is the tool for you.
The tool is completely free to use and only takes a couple of minutes.
Yes, Homeprotect’s risk calculator allows you to check subsidence risk (amongst others) for homes of different types in different postcodes and is completely free to use. Simply answer 6 simple questions about the property (including postcode) and you’ll be given a subsidence risk score.*
Simply complete our 6 simple questions in the home risk calculator to see the flood risk for different property types in a given UK postcode.*
As long as you have the property’s postcode, number of bedrooms, and a rough idea of when it was built you can use the home risk calculator to see the flood risk, subsidence risk, theft risk and more in properties of that type in that postcode.*
*remember that in the event that there is insufficient data on the combination of property type, size and in the particular postcode you search for, the tool will show you the national average for that combination. So for example, if there is not enough data to give a reliable score on a pre 1900 bungalow with 4 bedrooms in a given postcode, the tool will show you the national average risk score for a property with those characteristics.
