Why do you need home contents insurance?
Home contents insurance is designed to help protect your belongings. No matter how careful you are, there’s always a risk that your belongings could be broken, damaged or stolen. Home contents insurance can help give peace of mind. For example, if there is a flood caused by a tank that Hastoe is responsible for repairing, you would still need to pay for any damaged carpets and belongings. Home contents insurance can cover these costs for you.
Hastoe insures the building you live in but we do not insure your personal belongings. Therefore, you are responsible for arranging your own home contents insurance, and we would recommend that you do so.
Insurance for tenants
One option for home contents insurance would be Thistle Tenant Risks, who run the My Home Contents Insurance Scheme in partnership with the National Housing Federation. This is a specialist Tenants Contents Insurance policy designed for tenants living in social housing. You can find out more by visiting www.thistlemyhome.co.uk.
Hastoe does not receive any benefit from you taking out this insurance, and is unable to offer any advice on home contents insurance. We suggest that you compare a number of providers to ensure that you are getting the best deal and the appropriate level of cover for your circumstances.
