Council insurance claims

Home insurance in a council house

You are strongly advised to protect the contents of your home through your own insurance scheme or through the council's house contents insurance scheme which is managed by Brent Housing Partnership.

You can find out about the amount you would have to pay and benefits of the council's scheme by contacting our tenancy team on 020 8937 2424 or if you live in South Kilburn 020 8937 2659 or by contacting Brent Housing Partnership direct on info@bhphousing.co.uk

Please note that the council is under no obligation to provide compensation or financial assistance in the event of an accident, disaster or theft from your home.

Please also note that if you have arranged your household insurance through the council your insurance policy is likely to be cancelled without notice if your rent account goes into arrears.

Failure to pay that part of your weekly commitment, which relates to insurance will be treated as a breach of contract, entitling Brent Housing Partnership on behalf of the council, to cancel your contents insurance.
