After purchasing your household contents insurance policy, keeping an inventory to track your belongings and valuable items is a good idea. This inventory should be updated yearly or whenever you acquire new items.

If you need to file a claim, preparing your documents in advance will help reduce processing times and ensure a more accurate reimbursement amount.

What should be included in your inventory:

  • Item name or description

  • Purchase date

  • Purchase price

  • Make and model details (if applicable)

  • Indicate if a receipt or invoice is available

Documents you should keep:

  • Invoices

  • Receipts

  • Photographs of the items

Please note that you are not required to upload your inventory list and documents to your Feather account; however, we recommend that you keep a copy of it, along with any important documents like pictures, invoices, receipts, and model numbers, stored safely at home and/or in a digital format. You can find an example below for reference.
