Tenant home contents insurance

As your housing provider, High Peak Borough Council insures the building and anything we provide. You're responsible for insuring your own belongings (your home contents), such as furniture, carpets and electrical items.

Why might you want contents insurance?

If something unexpected happens (for example a leak, fire, theft or accidental damage), replacing your belongings can be expensive. Contents insurance can help you cover the cost of replacing your items.

We have access to a product that has been designed for tenants home contents insurance. This is provided by Ecclesiastical Insurance Office Plc (Ecclesiastical) and called - Simple Home Contents.

How do you get a quote?

Remember this is optional, and you can choose to use a different provider, or have no contents insurance at all.
