Weekly paid home contents insurance

Lewisham Council has negotiated an inexpensive insurance scheme that all Lewisham residents are eligible to join.

Published On: 21/06/2010

The London Borough of Lewisham does not insure your furniture against theft, fire, vandalism and burst pipes. You need to take out your own insurance.

Under a special scheme arranged by Jardine Lloyd Thompson through Aviva, it's easy for you to protect your belongings.

This scheme is open to all Lewisham Homes' tenants.

How it works

Payment of the premium with your rent

Premiums are collected on a weekly basis and can be paid weekly with your rent. When you are accepted onto the scheme you will receive a policy booklet and a welcome letter which will advise you the weekly amount you need to pay and when the first payment has to be made.

Insurance for your furniture, TV, clothing, carpets and electrical goods

When you take out this insurance most of your household goods and contents will be insured in your home. The insurance also covers theft of your keys and the contents of your freezer. There is also cover for personal liability. Please refer to the policy summary at the back of this document. A specimen policy booklet is available on request. For more information, please contact Lewisham Homes rent team 0800 028 2 028 - Press 2. (It may be cheaper to call 020 8613 4000 from a mobile.)
