Insurance

It is important that you know what we insure and what we do not insure, and the risks you take if you do not take out proper insurance.

We have a buildings insurance policy which covers all our properties. This means that we insure the structure of your home and all the internal fittings which are our property. These are the kitchen units, sinks, baths, basins, doors, heaters and so on.

We do not insure your own belongings. You should insure your belongings by taking out a 'contents' insurance policy which you can get from most insurance companies.

When you are deciding whether to insure your belongings, and which insurance company to use, you need to consider the risk of your belongings being lost as a result of theft, fire and so on. However, you should consider more than just that.

Most contents policies will also insure you for any claims made against you by someone else. Check that the policy you choose covers this and remember the risks you run if you are not insured.
