Why do I need it?
Information and this short video supplied by Thistle Insurance:
As your landlord Soha covers the buildings insurance for your home but you’re responsible, under the terms of your tenancy, for insuring your contents.
Home contents insurance is optional, but it’s a good idea to consider what a policy would cover you for. It can help protect your possessions from risks like fire, theft, water damage, and many more household risks, giving you peace of mind.
Soha is a member of the National Housing Federation which has teamed up with Thistle Tenant Risks and Great Lakes Insurance UK Limited to provide the My Home Contents Insurance Scheme. This is a specialist Tenants Contents Insurance policy designed for tenants living in social housing. All Soha residents are eligible to apply. This policy can cover:
furniture, carpets, curtains, clothes, bedding, electrical items, pictures and ornaments.
Limits and exclusions apply. For more information about our policy, please refer to the Insurance Product Information Document (IPID) and Policy Wording.
