Coronavirus Frequently Asked Questions

There’s no need to let us know if you're now working from home, spending more time at home or have a loved one living with you. We appreciate that living circumstances will have changed for many people during this lockdown period as we all try to stay safe at home.

Office equipment is not ordinarily covered by your HSBC Home Insurance policy. However, as more customers are now working from home, Aviva are temporarily treating home office equipment as ‘contents’ so that it’s covered under your home policy for any valid claim. All other policy conditions and terms will remain unchanged.

We don’t charge for making changes to your policy. So if you wanted, for example, to remove personal belongings cover or add home emergency cover during the lockdown period, your premium may change but there would be no additional charges.

Provided you’ve selected accidental damage as an add on to your buildings or contents cover, you will be covered for accidental damage - whether your children are at home or at school. If you don’t have this cover in place already you can add it at any time. There’s no admin fee to change your policy but your premium may increase. Please refer to your policy schedule to find out what cover you have on your policy.

In the unfortunate event of your home becoming uninhabitable due to any cause that your policy covers whilst you’re in self-isolation, Aviva would manage the situation based on your individual circumstances in accordance with their normal claims process. This may involve providing solutions to make your home habitable or providing suitable alternative accommodation.
