About Hamilton Leonard Insurance Brokers Limited

Established in 1978, Hamilton Leonard Insurance Brokers Limited has over 48 years of trading history, placing it among the more experienced firms in its sector. This longevity reflects sustained client confidence and a track record of adapting to the evolving UK regulatory and market environment.

Authorisation checks are free and immediate on the FCA register; unauthorised distribution is unlawful.

What Insurance Brokers Do

An insurance broker acts for the client rather than the insurer, comparing cover across multiple underwriters. Beyond price, a broker's job covers policy wording, exclusion negotiation and support at claim time.

Unlike comparison sites, an advised placement assesses the specific risk rather than matching form answers to quotes.

How to Choose the Right Insurance Broker

Ask prospective firms which insurers they place your class of risk with and how claims are handled. Ask what happens when a claim is declined; the answer reveals the depth of the service.

FCA fair-value rules apply to distribution: commissions and any fees must represent fair value and be disclosable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an insurance broker and a comparison website?

A comparison site retrieves quotes from the answers you type; a broker assesses the risk itself, advises on cover levels and exclusions, and takes responsibility for the recommendation, which matters most on non-standard or commercial risks.

Do I need to use an FCA-regulated insurance broker?

Anyone arranging insurance for clients in the UK must hold FCA authorisation, so an unregulated intermediary should not be arranging your cover at all. Check any firm's status on the Financial Services Register before proceeding.

How are insurance brokers paid?

Typically by commission from the insurer, a client fee, or both; FCA rules require remuneration to be disclosed, so ask for the breakdown on your specific policy.

What should I bring to a first meeting with an insurance broker?

For personal cover: current policy documents, five years of claims history, and details of what you are insuring. For commercial: company details, turnover, existing schedules and claims experience, plus anything unusual about the risk.

Can an insurance broker help me if my claim is rejected?

Yes, claims advocacy is core to the service: the firm can review the insurer's reasoning, challenge the decision with policy-wording arguments, and escalate to the Financial Ombudsman Service where appropriate.
