Tenants Home Contents Insurance Scheme


New Charter operates a Tenants Home Contents Insurance scheme (through Norwich Union). This is a service that tenants can choose to take part in, and is highly valued, providing as it does access to a service that may not be otherwise available. The scheme reflects New Charter’s policy of extending access to mainstream financial services, and provides the facility of weekly payments to the rent account. We have recently responded to tenant requests and have extended the scheme to allow tenants to take out additional accidental insurance should they wish. An additional premium is payable for the extra cover.

To join the scheme, a tenant must have a clear rent account and must maintain the account on that basis.

Cover starts from £6,000 cover for people over 60 and £9,000 for people under 60. The amount of cover can be extended to a maximum of £25,000. The cost of joining the scheme is 19.2p per thousand per week for the basic cover or 24p for the full accidental cover option.
