We’ve teamed up with Wessex Group to provide home contents insurance for all MTVH tenants and homeowners. You don’t need to pay any excess under this scheme.
We can’t guarantee that this scheme provides the cheapest or widest cover. You should get other quotes and choose the cover that meets your needs.
The scheme is administered by Wessex Group through the insurance broker Aon.
What the insurance covers
The contents in your home (including garages and gardens) will be insured against events such as fire, theft or flooding.
The cover also includes things like:
- Replacing door locks if your keys are lost or stolen
- Accidental damage to audio, video or computer equipment in your home
- Personal liability
It doesn’t cover wear and tear (like worn carpets) or an appliance breaking down.
You can also take out optional cover for:
- Accidental damage
- Theft, loss or damage of:
- personal belongs (which includes things like mobile phones and jewelry)
- wheelchairs, mobility scooters and hearing aids
Read the Insurance Product Information Document (PDF) for a full breakdown of what is and isn’t covered.
How much cover you need
Complete a do-it-yourself valuation sheet (PDF) to help work out how much cover you need.
Your home contents are covered on a ‘new for old’ basis – which means they’ll be replaced with brand new items of the same value. The only exception is linen and clothing, which will be replaced at their current cost (minus an amount for wear and tear).
When you’re working out the cost of your insurance, you need to work out how much it will cost to replace the full contents. If you under value your contents, this means you may not get the full value of your claim.
How much it costs
You don’t need to pay any excess under this scheme.
How much you pay (called the ‘premium’) depends on the amount you want insured.
You can pay the premium fortnightly, monthly or annually.
The lowest amount that can be insured is £4,000. The prices are set out below. They include the Insurance Premium Tax at the current rate.
