Pick up where you left off

When accidents happen, nobody wants to be without their most important possessions for long.

Contents cover from M&S Home Insurance gives you the cover you need, helping you repair or replace your items in case of theft, loss or damage. That way, you can get back to normality.

M&S Home Insurance has your back

Here’s what’s included with contents cover from M&S Home Insurance:

What’s covered?

  • Unlimited contents cover with a premier policy (inner limits apply)

  • Cover for your contents up to £100,000 with standard policies (inner limits apply)

  • Automatic accidental damage cover included with premier policies

  • Cover for fire, flood and escape of water

Renting? This could be for you.

The sofa, your laptop, that coffee table from your mother-in-law — just because you don’t own your property, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t protect the stuff inside. After all, one day you could be taking it to your forever home!

If you want to cover your posessions, it’s up to tenants to provide content insurance. So it could be worth taking out a policy — especially if you don’t want to end up back at square one.

Your property will not be left unoccupied for more than 90 consecutive days. Your property is not listed. Your home does not have a thatched roof.
