We’re sorry you’re thinking of leaving AXA. Depending on when you want to cancel your home insurance, there are different refund policies:
Cancellations following a claim
If there’s been a claim on your policy before you cancel, you’ll need to pay the full premium for the year – there are no refunds at any time for cancellation after a claim.
Cancellations within 14 days
If you change your mind shortly after buying, you have two options to cancel your home insurance within 14 days of the start date:
- You can cancel the policy back to the start date. This is your statutory right to cancel. We’ll return your payment in full. In effect, this means that your home was not covered by us.
- Alternatively, you can cancel from any time after the start date within the 14 day period. If you cancel during this time, we’ll will treat the policy as having been in force from the start date until the cancellation date and return the unused premium to you.
Cancellations after 14 days
If you cancel your home insurance after 14 days from the start date you will need to pay a £30 cancellation fee on top of the time you’ve been covered by us. We’ll return payment for cover after the cancellation date (a pro-rata refund), minus the cancellation fee.
We’re sorry if you no longer want to insure your home with AXA. Depending on when you want to cancel your home insurance, there are different things you need to do.
