Household contents insurance

 
Are the contents of your home insured? If not, it is important that you take out household contents insurance. You can do this by making your own arrangements with an insurance company, or by using the Council insurance scheme.

Weekly payments

Using the Council scheme makes it easy to insure your belongings as the cost of the insurance will be added on to your weekly rent bill.

What does it cost?

Look at the cost of insurance table for details of weekly insurance costs.

Prices could be subject to change.
