Short Term Contents Insurance

Hi there,

This place seems to be turning into something of a lifesaver as I try to negotiate one of the toughest house moves imaginable!

Basically, I was due to move out of my rented flat on the 6th June, and cancelled my contents insurance as a result.

the move got postponed at the last minute, and now I will definitely be moving out on the 28th June, but have suddenly realised I have no insurance between now and then.

Can anyone point me in the direction of an insurer who will cover me for a 2 week period? Ive tried googling, but all of the price comparison links that mention short term cover dont actually include it in their questions, so you always end up with an annual quote

Many thanks in advance

    Lloyds TSB home insurance annual policy can be cancelled without penalty, though you might have to pay for a full month, rather than a part month. Check their ts + cs over this.
