Many tenants believe that Home Group automatically insures their furniture, belongings and decorations e.g. wall paper against fire, theft, vandalism or water damage such as burst pipes.
This is not the case and it is recommended that all tenants take out their own private contents insurance to cover themselves in the unfortunate event that their home is damaged in some way.
FAQs on the insurance policy
The contents of your home are often overlooked, and are often worth thousands of pounds. It is therefore vitally important that you protect yourself if the worst should happen.
There are many contents insurance providers in the UK, which all offer similar products, however there are a number of things to look for when deciding on the correct policy for you. Things to look for include:
- Excess amount – how much you have to pay before the insurers pay for the rest. Generally the higher amount you are willing to pay, the lower your premium will be.
- What is the maximum value of an object that is insured under the policy? Some insurers will make you take out separate insurance for items over £1,000 in value
- Does the policy cover theft from other parts of the property e.g. garages etc.
- Does the policy replace goods with new ones, or provide you with the value of the current item as it is now e.g. 2 years old
