Contents Insurance

The Big Myth

Are you a council tenant? Do you think we insure the contents of your home? If the answer to the last question is yes, then think again. Because you would be wrong. Read this guide to find all about contents insurance.

The Basics

So, what is contents insurance? It is an insurance policy which protects the belongings in your home. Imagine what would happen if your bed caught fire, and you were not insured. You would have to pay for a new bed. Could you afford to do that?
By having contents insurance you protect yourself from this kind of situation. Contents insurance can protect your furniture, belongings and decorations against fire, theft, vandalism or water damage.

What We Say

We think you should take out contents insurance. However, the choice is yours. However many people have learned - through bitter experience - that insurance may have protected them, but only after disaster has struck.

How Do I Get Insured?

You can do this either through this scheme arranged by Marsh UK Ltd, or by making your own private arrangements.  For more information or to request an application form contact us on 506899 or 282117.
