Quotes on New build?

Hi, this is my first post - sorry if it's in the wrong place or if it's a silly question - but my question is this.
I am soon to move into a New-build flat through a housing association on a rent to buy scheme. I've been attempting to get some home contents insurance quotes online, but because it is a new-build, the postcode isn't yet on the software used by the websites. Does this mean that I can't get any insurance quotes (or any other quotes!) for this?

Thanks

    You'll have to use the phone, until they all update their systems. Before doing so, check with the post office that the postcode you are using is correct.
