Your home contents insurance

Cost of insurance

As a Southway Housing tenant, the structure of your home is covered by insurance, but this cover doesn’t include what’s inside your home, such as your furniture and personal belongings. We’re part of the scheme with Manchester City Council who work with one of the UK’s largest insurers to offer home contents insurance that can be paid in monthly instalments. Replacing the contents of your home could be very expensive. Purchasing Tenants Contents Insurance means your personal belongings are insured against events including: • Fire • Theft • Flooding/Escape of Water • Accidental damage, if selected You can insure for £4000 worth of cover for as little as £2.65 a month or add accidental cover for £3.85 a month. Unlike some policies, there’s no excess to pay in the event of most claims, except £100 for accidental damage and personal belonging claims, if you take out the extra insurance. For example, if you accidentally damage a TV worth £300, you pay £100 towards replacing it and your insurance pays the other £200. The policy provides new for old cover, and premiums are low. When you take out this insurance your household goods and contents will be insured whilst in your home against events such as fire, theft or flooding. The insurance also covers theft of your keys and the contents of your freezer.
