Insure your home contents - it's important

It’s vitally important that you insure the things in your house that mean so much to you, just in case the unexpected happens.

Clothes, keepsakes, electrical goods and furniture – all the stuff we take for granted in our every day lives, are expensive and in some cases irreplaceable.

Bernicia insures the home you live in and anything we provide – but we don’t cover your home’s contents and belongings.

So if you lose or damage cherished personal items and valuable goods in a fire, flood or break-in for example, the cost of replacing them will fall on you.

We don’t want any tenant or customer to experience this financial blow.

Bernicia and other social housing landlords have a special tenants’ content insurance cover set up designed to be as affordable as possible.

Royal & Sun Alliance insurance company provide low-cost contents insurance for customers, making sure the cover, price and service are tailored to suit to your needs.

Here’s what you need to know about RSA’s tenants’ contents insurance:

• Prices start from as little as 45p per week, £1.47 per month, or £15.65 a year for contents insurance
• It protects the contents in your home, garage and shed.
• You can apply online here: www.rsainsurance.co.uk/tenants-contents-insurance

Of course, you don’t have to use RSA for your home insurance – you can shop around and go with any insurance provider you choose.

But please, do take time to insure the contents of your home with a reputable provider – you never know when you might need it.
