Home Insurance on a new build

Hi all,

due to be completing this week on a new build house and naturally need to have insurance sorted prior to completion.

Unfortunately, as it is a new build, the address has not yet been released by the post office. Wife has spoken to them today and they will do so in the next 48-72 hours but we ideally would like to sort insurance ASAP. Does anyone know anyway around automatic postcode detection which most companies seem to use?

Any advice?

Many thanks

    When we moved into our new build at the start of the year it meant ringing companies to get the quote.

    If you wanted to "compare the meerkat", use an address close to you. Then you can see the cheapest quote before ringing them.

    Prepare for a few months of delivery drivers ringing you for directions!
