Home contents insurance for council tenants and leaseholders
Home contents insurance for council tenants and leaseholders
Have you thought about Home Contents Insurance?
Are you aware that the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames insures the structure of your council home, but not the contents?
Some of our tenants still don't have any contents insurance or think it is the Council that is responsible for insuring their belongings. This is not the case. Every household is responsible for insuring their own possessions.
If you haven't already insured the contents of your council home for peace of mind, you might want to consider the Council's insurance scheme. Our scheme allows you to spread the cost of paying your insurance premium in monthly or annual instalments. Payments can be made monthly at the Post Office, or monthly/annually by direct debit.
A few features of the policy
- Professional claims service.
- 'New for old' insurance.
- Low minimum sum insured - £7000 available for tenants over 60 and £9,000 for all other tenants.
Policy Cover
The policy includes tailor made cover such as:
- Storm, fire, theft and flood
- Accidental damage to TV sets, aerials and DVD players
- Tenant's liability
- Cover for the contents of your home, outbuildings and garages
- Frozen food
- Locks and keys.
