Swinton Insurance is offering 12 months’ free standard contents cover to homeowners taking out a new combined buildings and contents insurance policy.

The offer, which runs until end of April, is available to homeowners switching to Swinton and existing customers who have other policies with the UK’s largest high street broker.

Swinton will search its panel of insurers, quote the lowest combined buildings and contents price found and deduct the cost of the contents only cover from the premium.

The offer includes landlords looking to provide cover for their property, specialist homes and homeowners with a second property.

Mark Hallam, head of products at Swinton Insurance, said: “Although contents cover is arguably one of the most valuable forms of insurance, some homeowners don’t have a sufficient policy in place to protect their belongings and prized possessions should something unexpected happen to their home.”
