Hi
Just been sent the set of contracts by the solicitor (still aiming to complete by Monday 21st Dec)
One of the things I must return to her is proof of buildings insurance. Without a definate completion date, how can I know when to start the policy, and how can I get instant proof of this without waiting days for the certificate to arrive in the mail?

You should insure the property from exchange, not completion since you are duty bound to complete the sale even if the place burns to the ground. Speak to an insurer, they will be accustomed to needing to provide instant proof for new purchases.Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0

Have you exchanged contracts?0

Just get it to start in a couple of days. Even if you don't exchange straight away and its a couple of days later, it'll only cost you a couple of pounds. For the hassle it'll be worth it for the peace of mind knowing its in place and won't slow anything down.0

Have you ever tried getting them to use them.
This also applies to many other businesses.0
