Home contents insurance

As a Reading Borough Council tenant, we do not cover your contents as part of the tenancy agreement.

It’s a good idea to consider what a home contents insurance policy would cover you for so you can decide if you need one.

Contents insurance is designed to help protect your possessions. No matter how careful you are, there’s always a risk that your belongings could be broken, damaged or stolen. Home contents insurance can give you peace of mind.

As a provider of home contents insurance, we recommend Crystal Insurance Scheme, a specialist Tenants Contents Insurance policy, they offer a contents calculator to work out the value of your home contents.
