Home contents insurance

Home > Home contents insurance

We know many people are feeling the pressure of rising household costs, and finding extra money each month isn’t always easy. Your home and belongings are important to you, so we want to help you understand the options available and how insurance could support you if the unexpected were to happen.

Nobody can predict when an event like a fire, flood or burglary is going to happen, so making sure you have home contents insurance cover for your belongings could really make a difference and help you recover as quickly as possible.

As your landlord, we are responsible for insuring the building itself, but not the belongings inside your home. This means the structure of your home is covered, while home contents insurance is a great way to cover the cost of electrical items or furniture.

We work with one of the UK’s largest insurer, Aviva, so instead of having to pay upfront for the year, you can choose to pay weekly, fortnightly, or monthly . Make sure to mention you’re a ForHousing tenant at sign up to set up your re-occurring payment.

Unlike some insurance policies, there are no excesses so you will not have to pay anything in the event of a claim.
