Can you afford to replace or repair your possessions if they are damaged, destroyed or stolen?
20 December 2024
The contents of your home aren’t covered by your tenancy agreement. Although spending a few pounds a week on insurance can be a tough choice to make, it does give you peace of mind that if the worst happens, you won’t be faced with replacing your possessions yourself.
Contents insurance protects you if any items in your room or home are damaged or stolen. Most contents insurance policies will cover damage to your contents caused by:
- Storms
- Flooding
- Earthquakes
- Fire
- Lightning
- Explosions
- Theft
- Riots
- Vandalism.

It's easy to underestimate the value of all your household goods, domestic appliances, furniture, furnishings, personal belongings, clothes, toys and valuables. When you start to tot up everything that needs to be replaced, you’ll be surprised just how much it can cost – in most cases thousands of pounds.
