Working in partnership with the Wessex Group, we can offer all customers a special household contents insurance deal with Aviva, which can be paid in monthly instalments.
The policy provides cover on a ‘new for old’ basis, with the exception of linen and clothing which will be replaced at their current cost, less an amount for wear and tear at competitive rates. This means that if anything in your home is stolen or damaged, it will be replaced with a new version of the item, regardless of the age of the original.

Home contents insurance: why you can’t afford to ignore it
Imagine opening the door to your home one day and finding out that a flood in another property had caused unimaginable damage to all your worldly goods. Everything has been affected and is now soaking wet …. light fittings, wallpaper, carpets, clothes, electrical devices, bedding.
And as if that isn’t bad enough, suddenly you realise that, with no home contents insurance, you have no immediate means of paying for any of it to be replaced.
As a rule, generally anything you would take with you when you move house is covered in home contents insurance, such as clothing, furniture, jewellery and electrical goods and it usually covers you against fire, flood and theft. Yet, according to UK consumer website Finder.com, the growing trend is for less people to purchase home contents insurance.
Some people don’t take out home contents insurance because of the cost, especially against the backdrop of coronavirus where household budgets have become even tighter. For others there’s a lack of understanding about what it covers and some people just don’t know about it.
