Legal & General's general insurance business has joined with home insurer panel at Gocompare.com, to offer customers with access to its Essentials and Extra home insurance cover programs.

Essentials is designed to offer affordable insurance cover, which may be an option for customers with less complex insurance requirements, such as; people renting, those just starting on the property ladder and young families, Legal & General said.
