The partnership will offer the Society’s customers access to seven leading underwriters who each compete to offer the lowest price on Uinsure’s policy, with the cheapest being presented to members.

John Scally, head of commercial development at Leeds Building Society, said: “Our purpose is to put homeownership in reach of people, and this partnership with Uinsure means we can offer our members peace of mind that their property is protected should they suffer any unexpected loss or damage.
