Insurance

It's important to make sure your insure your furniture, belongings and decorations against fire, theft, vandalism or water damage such as burst pipes. Find out how we can help.

Let’s protect what makes your place a home.

You have a home full of things that you need and love – clothes, TV, kitchen appliances, keepsakes, furniture, and gadgets. Surely, if stuff’s worth owning, then it’s worth protecting.

As your landlord, we insure the building and anything we provide, but we don’t cover your home’s contents and belongings. Ask yourself, would you need help with the cost of putting things right after a kitchen fire, a washing machine flood, or a break in? It could get pretty pricey. But don’t worry – tenants contents insurance financially protects your home’s contents.

We’ve teamed up with Royal & Sun Alliance insurance company to provide low-cost contents insurance for customers, making sure the cover, price, and service could be suited to your needs.
