Council housing - insurance

Home insurance is important to protect you from the consequences in the event of a fire, flood or a burglary. 

If you a a Stirling Council Tenant you can benefit from he Council's low cost home insurance scheme. 

Just over 500 tenants have taken up the Council’s scheme but in the event of a fire,flood or a burglary, tenants without insurance will get nothing back.  Some of our tenants hit by theconsequences of bad weather last year did not have their personal belongings covered and could not afford to replace many of the items damaged. 

You can cut the cost of home insurance by using the Council’s scheme.  Premiums can be as low as £1.26 per week and 84p for the over 60’s and can be paid along with your rent for convenience.

  • If you have let your insurance laps;
  • you have not got around to organising it, or;
  • think its not worth it, or;
  • did not know that you needed insurance;

Considerthe comments of those who have taken out contents insurance:-

  • I felt safer as I was guarded against loss of possessions if I were to be burgled, had a fire or my home was flooded;
  • I felt that the claims process was much easier than a private policy;
  • I felt that the costs was affordable; 
  • I liked the fact that you can choose low levels of cover;
