Contents insurance for contract-holders

Our sister company Bode Insurance Solutions offers comprehensive insurance for contract-holders, covering damage to the property, possessions, and occupiers’ liability.

Contract-holder Insurance FAQs

While not legally required, many landlords strongly recommend or even require it in their tenancy agreements. Regardless of requirements, contract-holder insurance is a wise investment to protect your belongings and provide liability coverage during your tenancy.

Premiums typically start from just a few pounds per month, depending on factors like your location, the value of your belongings, and the level of coverage you choose. Our sister company Bode Insurance Solutions offer competitive rates with flexible payment options.

No, contract-holder insurance only covers the policyholder's personal belongings. Each flatmate should have their own policy to ensure their possessions are protected. Some insurers offer joint policies for couples sharing accommodation.

Most standard policies have per-item value limits. Valuable items like jewellery, electronics, or musical instruments over a certain value may need to be listed separately on your policy. Your advisor can help ensure your high-value items are properly covered.

If you need to make a claim, simply contact Bode directly using the details provided in your policy documentation. They'll guide you through the process, which typically involves providing evidence of ownership and details of the loss or damage.

I have not yet moved into a property with this estate agent but am due to next month and I just wanted to highlight the service from Josh today. After having a lack of communication regarding the tenancy for several months I called the office and was passed over to Josh who is not usually who we are in communications with for the house. He listened to every single one of my concerns, explained the agents side of the situation, and actioned everything within the hour, keeping myself and other tenants in the loop and communicating with the landlord on our behalf. This is rare service to receive from an estate agent and he is clearly a testament to the team. Housing is a difficult topic to discuss and he put my mind at ease instantly. Thank you again Josh!
