Contents insurance: why do I need home contents insurance?

As your landlord, we do not provide insurance cover for your contents or belongings. Contents insurance is designed to help protect your possessions. No matter how careful you are, there’s always a risk that your belongings could be broken, damaged or stolen so home contents insurance can help provide peace of mind.

It’s a good idea to consider what a home contents insurance policy would cover you for in order to help you make an informed decision on whether you need one. It's also best to shop around to make sure you find the best deal for you. 

As a CKH resident, you have the option to find out more about a specialist Tenants Contents Insurance policy, called the My Home Contents Insurance Scheme, provided by Thistle Tenant Risks and Great Lakes Insurance UK Limited.

My Home Contents Insurance can offer you insurance for the contents of your home including cover for items such as furniture, carpets, curtains, clothes, bedding, electrical items, jewellery, pictures and ornaments.

Limits and exclusions apply. A copy of the policy wording is available on request.
