If you are uninsured you risk financial loss from burglary or theft and from damage from hazards such as fire and burst pipes.

Claims Against St. Leger Homes

The structure of your home – such as foundations, external walls and roof – is the responsibility of St. Leger Homes . If the structure of your home is damaged or destroyed by fire, for instance, this is our responsibility. However, damage to the contents of the home are your responsibility and need to be covered by Home Contents Insurance.

You may make an insurance claims against us for any damage, loss or injury for which we are responsible. For example, if one of our maintenance staff accidentally burst a pipe in your home, resulting in damage to your furniture, you would have legitimate cause to make a claim against us.

If however, tiles were blown off your roof in a storm and, as a result of this damage was caused to a carpet in your home, this might not be our fault.

Every claim against us is properly investigated and treated on its merits. We will never unfairly reject a claim. To make a claim you have to fill in an insurance claim form, which is available for you to download below.

If you have any questions or concerns about insurance claims against St. Leger Homes (this does not include contents insurance), please contact our Insurance Investigation Officer on 01302 862744.
