Short term house insurance

kittenki

Hello
I have just accepted an offer on my home and my home insurance is due for renewal in 2 weeks does anyone know how I can get short term insurance or one that I can cancel and get a refund from?
Many thanks for any advice

Have you asked you own insurance company for an extension.

It might just be the easiest way.

I've just added a second home to my LV insurance, it's a house that I have inherited and is awaiting probate. The LV people were only too pleased to help with an extra house and the cost was quite modest. Provided there isn't a claim, the insurance can be cancelled and the remaining premium refunded for a small fee.

As the other reply suggested, try a call to your insurance company and explain the situation... They might be only too pleased to help.

You can cancel Lloyds tsb home policies without penalty with 14 days notice at any time.

Thats a good idea ill get in touch with them see if they can extend it. Their surveyor is coming around to look at the house tommorrow, fingers knees and toes crossed all goes well!!

No luck with my own company im afraid they would charge £30 to cancel. does anyone know anyone with lower cancellation charges or a one month cancellation policy?
