It will never happen to me…. how often have you heard someone say that? Well, unfortunately, it could happen to you, particulary when you are talking about damage or theft of the contents to your home.

Please ask yourself - do I have the contents of my home insured?
Family Housing Association does not arrange home contents insurance cover for our residents. We do arrange buildings insurance cover but this only relates to the shell of the property.

As we all know, Birmingham was hit by a mini tornado in July 2005 and flooding in July 2006 and September 2008, resulting in significant damage to buildings and the loss of personal belongings. A number of people did not have any buildings insurance or any contents insurance and therefore lost everything. What would you do if this happened to you?

Family Housing is able to offer contents insurance through the National Housing Federation which is underwritten by a leading insurance provider.  The premium is based on whether or not you are under or over 60 years of age, your post code and the sum insured.  Cover can be arranged over the telephone removing the need for any forms if you prefer.
