You may wish to consider multiple occupancy contents insurance if you are the owner or an occupier of any of the following:
- Bedsits
- Hostels
- Some bed and breakfast homes
- Halls of residence or residential staff accommodation
- A home being converted into flats
- Lodgings
- Student house
Many insurers offer multiple occupancy contents insurance, but the premiums may be higher than usual. This is because items within shared properties are at a higher risk from being damaged, stolen or lost. For example, if you have five students in a property together, and they each have their friends round, damage becomes a greater risk in the eyes of the insurer.
However, some companies will offer a discount to a group who purchase contents insurance as a multiple occupancy policy together. One benefit of this is that you could place each person on the same policy which makes things a lot easier.
You may want to consider multiple occupancy contents insurance if you live with a number of people and you want to protect your belongings and theirs from damage, theft and loss.
