Although we insure the structure of your home, you are responsible for insuring your possessions against accidental damage, fire and theft. Your possessions include furniture, clothing, appliances, carpets, curtains and flooring and anything you keep in the garden or shed.

Replacing your belongings could be very expensive. When taking out insurance, list your belongings which include all your appliances and white goods and estimate how much it would cost to replace these.

We would advise you to get three quotes to ensure that the insurance cover you decide on best meets your needs.

Although we cannot recommend any particular company, the National Housing Federation works with Thistle Tenant Risks, who provide My Home Contents Insurance. Their My Home scheme is designed for tenants and residents living in social and affordable housing, offering economical and flexible schemes for tenants.
