Customer's reviews
Christian Parore from The Assessor Co has been exceptional to work with and made a huge difference in the outcome of our insurance claim. After our dishwasher leak was initially assessed as gradual damage and declined by our insurer, Christian carried out a thorough, independent assessment that clearly identified the true cause and supported our case with a detailed, well‑structured report. Thanks to his expertise and persistence, the insurer overturned their original decision. Christian was professional, transparent, and incredibly supportive throughout the process, making a stressful situation far easier to navigate. We’re extremely grateful for his work and highly recommend him to anyone needing a knowledgeable and reliable insurance assessor. The best part was I did not have to deal with the insurance company at all!!

We are very pleased to have been given Christian’s details following a declined insurance claim. We thought the decision was unfair and did challenge it, however, did not get a favourable outcome.
We chose to go with Christian as after his initial review of the information. He believed we did have a case and there would be no fee if we weren’t successful.
It was a relief to have Christian follow it up and present a technical report to our insurance provider. His technical report put together information that we suspected was the case, however not being experts, we were unable to present.
There were delays throughout the process and again it was a relief that Christian kept consistently following up with our insurance provider.
Ultimately, we got a settlement that we felt was fair and we were over the moon with the outcome.

Christian from the Assessor Company was an enormous help. I had been dealing with my insurance company for several months and felt like I was getting nowhere, and I struggled to fully understand the information they were providing.
Christian stepped in on my behalf, navigated the insurance process, and consistently followed up when there were delays. Thanks to his persistence, we eventually received the information we had been requesting.
He also provided advice that was clear, easy to understand, and thoroughly explained. I genuinely could not have navigated this process without his help and support.
