As your landlord, Soho Housing arranges insurance for the structure of your property. However, this does not include your home contents and personal belongings inside your home. If your belongings are damaged, lost or stolen, this would not be covered by Soho Housing’s insurance policy, so it is important that residents consider taking out their own contents insurance.
Home contents insurance can help protect personal belongings against events such as fire, theft, or certain types of water damage, depending on the level of cover chosen. It can enable essential items like furniture, clothing, and electrical goods to be repaired or replaced, reducing the financial impact of an unexpected loss, particularly for households on tight budgets.
The National Housing Federation’s My Home Contents Insurance Scheme, administered by Thistle Tenant Risks, is designed for residents in social housing, with sums insured available from £4,000 to £30,000 and no excess to pay in the event of a claim. Terms, conditions and exclusions apply.
