The National Housing Federation works in partnership with Thistle Tenant Risks, who provide My Home Contents Insurance. The My Home scheme offers economical and flexible schemes to protect customers against a whole range of risks.
Why should I get contents insurance?
We would recommend for all customers to consider home contents insurance to cover their possessions against fire, theft and other risks, such as accidental damage. If something happens to destroy or damage possessions, some of which may be essential, it can cost a lot of money to replace those items.
Having contents insurance means that you are able to have items replaced or repaired if necessary criteria is met.
