Contents insurance

We realise home contents insurance may be the last thing on many tenants minds, especially when there are so many other outgoings. However, as a tenant, it is your responsibility to protect your personal possessions and home contents against theft, water or fire damage.

The National Housing Federation offers discounted home insurance to our tenants. They will also protect you against accidental damage, damage to external glazing, lost or stolen keys and freezer contents.
