Are your favourite items protected? Protect your belongings with contents insurance.

With the winter weather well and truly here, it is more important than ever to ensure what’s in your home is protected. 

Your home is not just a structure, it is filled with precious belongings and memories. Making sure to protect those contents from events such as floods, fires, and theft is important. Whether you own or rent your home, having the right insurance in place can make a significant difference in protecting your most valuable possessions and memories. 

For renters and shared owners, the My Home Contents Insurance Scheme, provided by Thistle Tenant Risks and Great Lakes Insurance UK Limited, offers a tailored solution to safeguard your belongings. This Tenants Contents Insurance policy covers a range of items, from furniture and carpets to clothing, electrical appliances, and sentimental items.

Home contents insurance is designed to provide peace of mind by offering protection for your possessions. Even with the utmost care, the risk of items being damaged, broken, or stolen is possible. Understanding what a home contents insurance policy needs to cover is important in making a decision about how to protect your belongings.

The My Home Contents Insurance Scheme ensures comprehensive coverage, addressing the diverse needs of tenants. This includes protection for furniture, carpets, curtains, clothing, bedding, electrical items, pictures, and ornaments. By partnering with Thistle Tenant Risks and Great Lakes Insurance UK Limited, we aim to simplify the process of securing the right insurance for your home.

To learn more about the My Home Contents Insurance Scheme or to initiate the application process, contact us via email at homecontentsinsurance@livewest.co.uk. Alternatively, reach out to Thistle Tenant Risks at 0345 450 7288 or visit thistlemyhome.co.uk for additional information or to request a call back. You can also use their new online form to get a quote.
