Protect your home contents with affordable insurance

Home contents insurance may seem complicated, and many people think they cannot afford it.  But Lambeth Council have teamed up with Thistle Tenant Risks and Allianz Insurance plc to offer our tenants and leaseholders the chance to insure their home contents and belongings through the Crystal Insurance Scheme.

Resilience and responsibility 

The Council are not responsible for your home contents and belongings, this is your responsibility.  You should protect your home contents and belongings, things like, clothes, furniture, TV’s, carpets even your jewellery.

What does the insurance policy cover?

The Crystal Insurance Scheme covers your home contents against, fire, theft, flood, water damage and much more. Limits and exclusions apply, a full policy wording is available on request.

Key benefits of our home contents cover offer
