Not happy
15/12/2019
The company that were appointed to carry out the works by the Aviva were not competent and caused more damage as a result. The issue has taken that long to sort that when I was settled to instruct my own contractor they were that busy i can no longer get the works done till after Christmas. For a 4 day job it will now be 5 1/2 months to complete leaving the house in turmoil as a result

online application

Easiest online form I have ever had to complete for insurance. Had a problem setting up payment but when I phoned the boy I spoke to couldn't be more helpful.

Good value and telephone service, but took unnecessary challenge to get cover agreed
14/12/2019
I wanted to use Aviva as we'd used them for cover some years ago, plus I was eligible for discount as I have a pension with them. I did an online quote but rung them to query about having building works starting a few days after cover started, converting our garage to an annexe. Sadly cover was then declined, but was told Aviva could cover after work was completed. I felt this was very unfair as a loyal customer with a significant pension with them. The customer service assistant then conferred with underwriters and eventually after probably around 10 minutes overall hold time, said they would cover with a clause written in. This shows that it's worth challenging. However it also seems to me that Aviva have unfair automatic decline conditions. Such building works as ours are not substantial. I this made a formal complaint.

Four visits

It was well handled but it took 4 visits, one for measuring and three for fitting, due to weather and manufacturing error.

IT is very poor
11/12/2019
this is one of the many times I've contacted for a problem related to you IT system and the answer is always you have not quick solution/you don't how to fix the problem. I guess you should consider rethinking your system from the scratch. Also the app is awful and always tricky to use especially for investment account.

Need to get online account issues sortrd
09/12/2019
I have bought both car and house insurance which I am very happy about both quotes were very reasonable and value for money. No issues with the purchase or the delivery of documents. That's where the goodness stops. There is a known issue in regards to your online account access to documents and I have been waiting almost 2 months to have this resolved. This is not a good experience, it is an online account and should be able to view it as such. The length of time taken so far is unacceptable. 17 per cent of my policy has expired without being able to access them online. Everything else is great apart from the poor IT support.
