What do I do about contents insurance?
Why do I need it?
We are not responsible for insuring the contents of your home (for example your furniture, belongings and other personal items) against theft, fire, vandalism, burst pipes, damp or mould and other household risks.
This includes any part of the home which falls under your responsibility, such as damage to paintwork or new laminate flooring.
Contents insurance protects your possessions. No matter how careful you are, there’s always a risk that your belongings could be broken, damaged or stolen so home contents insurance can help provide peace of mind.
It’s a good idea to consider what a home contents insurance policy would cover you for so you can decide if you need it.
To help you decide whether home contents insurance is right for you, Shepherds Bush Housing Group have teamed up with Thistle Tenant Risks, and Allianz Insurance plc who provide the My Home Contents Insurance Scheme, a specialist Tenants Contents Insurance policy.
My Home Contents Insurance can offer you insurance for the contents of your home including cover for items such as furniture, new laminate flooring, carpets, curtains, clothes, bedding, electrical items, jewellery, pictures and ornaments.
