We do not insure the contents of your home.
If your contents are destroyed or damaged (eg by theft, fire or flooding) and you do not have insurance cover you will have to pay to replace them. Therefore we strongly advise that you arrange your own home contents insurance to cover your possessions.
You can arrange the insurance through us and have the premium collected with your rent for as little as 40p* per week for standard cover or 80p* per week for full accidental damage. You can also choose to cover your personal belongings away from the home, or wheelchairs/mobility scooters, or hearing aids, for an additional premium. Our insurance scheme is provided by Aviva.
* Price includes Insurance Premium Tax (IPT) charged at the appropriate rate. Terms and conditions apply.
