How can I get contents insurance?
We’ve teamed up with Thistle Tenant Risks and Ageas Insurance Limited* to offer you protection for your home contents and personal possessions.
The offering is part of the National Housing Federation’s My Home Contents Insurance Scheme. All our customers, both tenants and leaseholders, are eligible to apply for this scheme.
What will it offer?
There are many benefits to signing up for the My Home Contents Insurance Scheme, including:
- Cover for theft, water damage, fire and many more household risks
- There are no minimum home security requirements, just a lockable front door
- Replacement and installation of locks for outside doors or windows and alarms, if your keys are lost or stolen
- Flexible, regular pay as you go payment options, rather than having to pay for a whole year at once
- Storm and flood damage
- Damage to fixed glass in doors and windows, which you are responsible for
- Cover for theft or attempted theft of contents in sheds, outbuildings and garages
- Various ways to make your payment including fortnightly, monthly or annual payments (fortnightly and monthly premiums include a transaction charge).
Terms and conditions, limits and exclusions apply.

Case study: A rainy day for our customer
One of our customers suffered water damage in his home during stormy weather. Rainwater poured into the attic and his daughter’s bedroom, which ruined the paint and decoration, drenched the carpet, and left a strong, unpleasant odour. A plumber and roofer had to be called out to repair the damage.*
Luckily, this customer had a contents insurance policy. The claim was settled within 8 weeks, and cash was issued for the customer to arrange his own replacements for the insured, damaged décor. The daughter’s room was redecorated as quickly as possible.
