If you're a homeowner who has bought a council property, you can benefit from our new home contents insurance offer.
Some people don’t take out home contents insurance because they wrongly believe their buildings insurance protects what’s inside their home. As a housing provider, we can secure lower costs for you from a trusted provider, with insurance at the same costs as for tenants, offering benefits including costs from as little as £19 to insure up to £4,000 worth of contents for 12 months; no excess; no higher premiums after making a claim; and flexible pay as you go options:
Each year, we estimate the cost of day-to-day maintenance of our buildings and estates during the coming financial year. All service charge estimates and major works costs went out before the start of financial year 2019-2020, helping homeowners with more time to query the charges or to arrange payment.

We consulted residents to review our performance and proposed targets for financial year 2019-20. The review gave residents a better understanding of how we measure performance and as a result of feedback received we have updated some of our targets:
- An average of 10.5 days to do a responsive repair
- 95% percent of residents reporting that contractors were polite and helpful
- 95% percent of residents reporting that contractors left their home clean and tidy
