Can i do this?? (car insurance)

My parents have a house that is insured with Direct Line, i don't live there but i have access to the house as a friend lives there. Direct Line are offering a discount if your home is insured with them. Would it be wrong to buy the insurance (im going to pay it in one go), then change the address when the it becomes valid, which is next month?

Is this illegal?? Im keen to save some money but i don't want to break the law..... :eek:

    you are being dishonest, which could invalidate your policy and you may be charged an admin fee to change the address. How much will you save and only you can decide whether it is worth the risk?

    It's about £20 cheaper. Not worth the risk of invalidating the policy though! :eek:

    Twenty quid is a lot of money to some, but the admin fee may well be more than that?
