Home Contents Insurance

Do you know that Islington Council are only responsible for your building insurance and not the contents? You are responsible for insuring your belongings inside your home.

A typical policy will cover loss and damage to:

Furniture and fittings

  • Personal belongings
  • Clothes
  • Jewellery and other valuables (such as computers, televisions, bicycles etc)
  • Rented equipment

Some policies will also cover theft of house keys and the food in your freezer. The council offers a low-cost insurance scheme run by Aviva which is available to Islington Council tenants and leaseholders.

You do not need to have a clear rent account to be accepted on to the scheme.
