Why do I need it?
Contents insurance is designed to help protect your possessions. No matter how careful you are, there’s always a risk that your belongings could be broken, damaged, or stolen. Have you considered if you were subject to any water damage, how you would replace damaged goods?
It’s a good idea to consider what a home contents insurance policy would cover you. There are various comparison sites on the internet that can provide you with a free quotation, in order to help you make an informed decision on which one is right for you.
Although home contents insurance is not compulsory, it can help provide peace of mind.
As a landlord, we do not cover your contents as part of your tenancy agreement.
Thistle Tenant Risks and Great Lakes Insurance UK Limited provide the My Home Contents Insurance Scheme, a Tenants Contents Insurance policy designed for tenants living in social housing.
They can offer you, our tenants and leaseholders, insurance for the contents of your home including cover for items such as furniture, carpets, curtains, clothes, bedding, electrical items, jewellery, pictures, and ornaments.
They have launched a convenient 'Get a Quote' option on their website, making it easy for you to obtain a quote and purchase contents insurance online. This feature also allows our residents to compare quotes more effectively with other providers.
