Home contents insurance
You are responsible for insuring the contents of your home.
If you live in one of our homes we are responsible for your home’s bricks and mortar, not its contents.
If any of your furniture, belongings or decorations are stolen, damaged as a result of fire or vandalism or a weather related incident (for example, burst pipes) then you must use your contents insurance to make a claim.
For more information about purchasing home contents insurance you can:
- check the Money and Pensions Service Money Helper’s guide to home contents insurance: Contents insurance if you rent and have a low income | MoneyHelper
- your local Housing Executive office: 03448 920 900 | NGT* General enquiries 18001 03448 920 900
- speak to an insurance broker in your area
- search comparison websites online
Make sure you get several quotes before picking a company to use and ask if they would be happy to arrange for you to pay weekly or monthly so you can spread the cost.
