To help raise awareness of fire safety and to highlight how important it is to have contents insurance, we are sharing some real-life stories of recent fire incidents in our customers’ homes.
This house fire was caused accidently but devastatingly the customer lost absolutely everything and needed to be rehomed.

Although we take care of any building or structural repairs through our own building insurance, the cost of repairing or replacing damaged items is down to you, and not having the right cover in place could end up being very expensive.
This is why we have teamed up with the SFHA, Thistle Tenant Risks, and Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance plc who provide the Diamond Insurance Scheme, a specialist Tenants Contents Insurance policy.
The scheme offers affordable cover with special low minimum sums insured, to ensure that you only pay for the cover you need. For example,
- Standard cover for a BHA customer aged 60 and over with a £6,000 sum insured will cost as little as £1.15 fortnightly or £22.47 annually
- Standard cover for a BHA customer under 60, with a £9,000 sum insured will pay £1.74 fortnightly or £33.71 annually
