lets protect what makes your place a home
You have a home full of things that you need and love – clothes, your TV, kitchen appliances, keepsakes, furniture, and gadgets. Surely, if stuff’s worth owning, then it’s worth protecting. And guess what? It may not cost as much as you might think for tenants contents insurance, and if you’re covered, you don’t have to find the cash to put things right.
Why is contents insurance important?
You never expect things to go wrong at home but it could happen. It’s worth asking yourself if you’d need help with the cost of putting things right after a kitchen fire, washing machine flood, or a break in. Contents insurance financially protects the contents in your home, garage or shed – such as your clothes, TV, furniture, gadgets, and garden tools.
If your belongings are stolen or damaged by vandalism, water leaks, flooding, storms, or fire, you could claim on your insurance with no excess to pay.

Cover everything in your home
Tenants contents insurance financially protects the contents in your home, garage, or shed – such as your clothes, TV, furniture, gadgets and garden tools.

Leaving your phone on the bus, losing your hearing aid in the supermarket, damaging your mobility scooter on the way to the chemist or having your bicycle stolen from work – all sorts of things can happen when you’re out and about.
