Safety, security and insurance

Safety in your North Abingdon home

Locks have been fitted to your windows and house and flat entrance doors are fitted with multi-point locking.

Flats have a communal door which can be released by using the intercom call facility. Please make sure that this door is kept closed for your security and that of your neighbours.

*You will also be provided with 3 keys for this door/fobs & master key*. Additional copies may be purchased from Sovereign.

Please make sure you always have your house or flat keys with you when leaving your home. Forced entry and replacement locks will incur an additional charge.

[For flats only] Please do not leave rubbish, bikes, prams or similar items in the communal areas. These areas must be kept clear in the event of an emergency and are not storage areas. 

Security

The layout of your home and the external environment has been designed, where possible, with security in mind.

Insurance

Sovereign insures the building in which you live, but we don’t insure your personal contents.

You should arrange a comprehensive insurance policy to cover you for fire, burglary, break-in, storm and flood damage and other risks as soon as you move in.

Sovereign have teamed up with Thistle Tenant Risks and Ageas who provide specialist Tenants Contents Insurance policies. This home contents insurance scheme can offer you protection for the contents of your home including cover for items such as furniture, carpets, curtains, clothes, bedding, electrical items, jewellery, pictures and ornaments.
