If you're a flat owner or a tenant, you may be confused about your level of insurance protection; where does the protection of buildings insurance end and your own liability for contents begin?
Buildings insurance only covers you for fixtures and fittings and not for any other furniture and personal belongings kept in the property. Essentially, if you were to turn your flat or apartment upside down, anything that could fall out wouldn’t be protected unless you have contents insurance in place, as well.
At Deacon we offer comprehensive contents insurance for owners, leaseholders and residents at competitive prices, with cover up to £45,000 as standard and optional extensions should you require extra protection.
Comprehensive cover
Contents insurance from Deacon provides protection against all eventualities, from burglary and theft to fire and flooding. We offer cover for personal money, valuables such as watches and wedding rings, and electrical items like computers and televisions.
Theft from outbuildings and garages is also included in our policies alongside protection for contents kept in the garden or driveway. We even cover items belonging to your visitors and automatically insure any gifts you or those living in your flat may receive.
Choose contents insurance from Deacon and you'll benefit from personal liability cover plus you’ll get cover in the event of a claim arising from an accident to another person or damage to their property in the insured property.
Tailor-made policies
Our leaseholders' and tenants' contents insurance policies are comprehensive, covering all the furniture, appliances and personal effects you'd expect to find in a modern home. But sometimes a standard insurance policy doesn't provide the level of cover you require.
At Deacon, we can offer you a contents insurance policy for your property that's tailored to your individual needs. Do you have specific items of value that you want to insure? Just get in touch. Do you travel regularly, leaving your flat unoccupied and your contents unattended? Let us know and we can adjust your policy accordingly.
We can extend cover to include a number of specified items and we can also offer optional add-ons that provide you with protection against accidental loss or damage to belongings taken outside of your home. Whatever you need, just ask.
