Contents Insurance
Many tenants and leaseholders believe that the Council or Colchester Borough Homes automatically insures their furniture, belongings and decoration against fire, theft, vandalism or water damage such as burst pipes. This is not the case and we strongly advise that all tenants and leaseholders take out contents insurance for their home.
You can take out insurance with any insurance company. We work with Royal and Sun Alliance plc who have set up a scheme especially for our customers. Subject to acceptance, this scheme gives you peace of mind for as little as £3.02 per month. This includes cover for:
- Fire, lighting, explosion, storm and flood
- Escape of water from a domestic appliance
- Theft
- Riot or vandalism
- Accidental damage to televisions
- Freezer contents
- Personal money
- Loss of keys
- Accidental death cover
Some exclusions may apply. Full policy wording is available from Royal and Sun Alliance on request. Please call (0808 220 1111 for more details.
