Home Contents Insurance
Why do I need it?
United Welsh insures its buildings in case of fire, flood or serious damage, but you may not be aware that we do not insure your personal contents/belongings as part of the tenancy agreement. 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.
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.
To help you decide whether home contents insurance is right for you United Welsh has teamed up with Thistle Tenant Risks, and Royal & Sun Alliance Ltd who provide the National Housing Federation’s My Home Contents Insurance Scheme, a specialist Tenants Contents Insurance policy.
The My Home Contents Insurance Scheme 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.
