Is my home covered by Insurance?

Your home is covered by buildings insurance but not contents insurance. We do not automatically provide cover for any of our tenants’ or leaseholders’ household contents. This may mean that if you do not have contents insurance you are not protected against theft, fire, vandalism or burst pipes. We believe that all residents should take out adequate cover to ensure that their contents are fully insured against potential loss.
We run a contents insurance policy and if you are interested in taking out the policy we can send you an application form. Please contact us on 686 8000.

I’ve been told that I need to reduce condensation in my home? How do I do this?

You can reduce condensation by:
Not leaving kettles or saucepans boiling.
Shutting the kitchen or bathroom door and opening a window whenever you are doing something in those rooms that causes a lot of steam.
Wiping over steamed up windows before the water runs between the glass and frame or onto the sill.
Ventilating your home (open all air vents).
Not drying clothes on radiators.
