Many tenants believe that renting a home from us means that
we automatically insure their belongings against theft, fire,
vandalism, burst pipes etc. This is not the case and unfortunately
many people only realise this after they have suffered a loss.
If you're looking for affordable home contents insurance then
our scheme may help you.
Benefits of the scheme
- Most of your household contents are insured when in your home
such as: furniture, TVs clothing, carpets, electrical goods.
- No excess on claims so you do not have to pay the first portion
of any claim.
- Payment of premiums by weekly or fortnightly instalments, or by
monthly standing order.
You can be covered by our insurance scheme for as little as
£1.35 per week for a £9,000 sum insured. And it is even cheaper if
you are over 60.
