Home contents insurance

your lease

Be prepared. Protect your belongings

It's your responsibility to organise your own home contents insurance.

We insure the structure of your home and also the communal areas on the scheme.  But, we DO NOT insure your furniture or belongings.

Home contents insurance covers the cost of replacing your belongings in your home if they are damaged, destroyed or stolen.  'Contents' generally means the items you would take with if you moved home, such as furniture, kitchenware, electricals and also carpets and curtains.

Below are details about an affordable home contents insurance provider recommended by the National Housing Federation.

You can also find out more about contents insurance on the Money Helper website.
