High street bank HSBC has launched a new tailor-made insurance property insurance policy for tenants.

The bank says the policy will benefit graduates and young professionals living in rented and shared accommodation, unlike many insurers' policies, which restrict cover and charge higher premiums.

The new policy will cover belongings and contents up to £7,000. Additional cover is also available for items taken away from the home, including cash, credit cards and bicycles.

Phil Sellers, head of personal insurance at HSBC Bank, said: “As 30% of the UK's households live in rented accommodation, thousands of people could be paying over the odds for home insurance.

“With HSBC's possessions insurance, tenants only pay for the cover they need – giving them peace of mind at a fair price.”

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
