SYHA is responsible for insuring the structure of your home but we do not provide insurance for your personal belongings in your home.
We strongly recommend that you take out Home Contents Insurance to ensure that your belongings are protected against loss or damage.
You can buy home contents insurance in a number of ways. SYHA has negotiated a deal especially for SYHA tenancy holders & leaseholders with an insurance broker called Jardine Lloyd Thomson*
Benefits of the scheme include:
- Flexible & easy ways to pay
- Cover is provided on an 'new for old' basis with the exception of linen and clothing
- There is no excess (you don't pay the first part of any claim)
- Low minimum sums insured are available - £6000 if you are over the age of 60 and £9000 if you are under 60
- Every resident pays the same rate irrespective of their postcode or type of home
- You don't need to have special door or window locks
* Please note that there are certain limits and exclusions which apply to the cover provided under the Jardine Lloyd Thomson Scheme and further information is contained within the application pack.
If you would like more details of the scheme or would like to request an application pack please fill in our online form
Alternatively you can make your own arrangements with another insurer.
