As your landlord, we don’t insure your contents as part of your tenancy agreement. It’s a good idea to consider what a home contents insurance policy would cover, so you can 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, Local Space has teamed up with Thistle Tenant Risks through the National Housing Federation, who provide My Home Contents Insurance, a specialist contents insurance designed for tenants living in social housing.

My Home Contents Insurance offers 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 – more information can be found in the Insurance Product Information Document (IPID) and policy wording.

The quote and buy feature on their website is designed to help you get an accurate quote and complete your purchase in just a few clicks. Once you’re happy with the quote provided, you can proceed to checkout and complete your purchase securely by monthly direct debit payments. Please note that paying by direct debit is more expensive than other payment options. For alternative payment options, please get in touch with Thistle Tenant Risks on 0345 450 7288.
