    Specified items cover

    We need to know about items worth more than £2,000 each. For example, items such as laptops, TVs, jewellery or bikes. You don’t need to tell us about home appliances, and furniture that isn’t antique.

    You can choose to cover any specified items in the home, or both in and away from the home.

    There’s a £40,000 limit for each specified item and a £100,000 limit in total. 

Additional features and optional extras we offer:

The level of cover you need will be individual to you. You can see below what's included with our Bronze, Silver and Gold cover and what optional cover you can add to meet your needs.

  • Covers you for accidental damage to the things in your home.

    So, if a drink spills on your carpet, you’re covered.  We’ll pay to repair the damage or replace your things.

    More about accidental damage cover

  • Protects the things you have with you when you leave the house, like your phone, jewellery or bike. If you have any specified items, you can also choose to cover these away from home.

    You’re covered if they’re lost or stolen, or accidentally damaged if you have this cover.  It also includes cover for students’ contents while they’re temporarily living away from home to study.
