Why do I need contents insurance?
All homes owned by Stonewater (except for leasehold properties where the cover is provided by any management agent in place) are covered by buildings insurance as standard, which is arranged and paid for by Stonewater.
This covers damage to the structure, fixtures and fittings inside all our homes. It doesn’t cover damage to any contents, however this is caused - for example, damage by flood from a burst pipe or a fire.
That’s why it’s important to think about home contents insurance. Home contents insurance is there to help protect your possessions.
No matter how careful you are, there’s always a risk that your belongings could be broken, damaged or stolen, so home contents insurance can help provide peace of mind. It’s a good idea to consider what a home contents insurance policy would cover you for in order to help you make an informed decision on whether you need one.
Please note: We suggest that you look for providers who are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
