House insurance when planning to sell

Planning to put house on market in about 1-2 months time. Won't need house insurance for the rest of the year (assuming it sells within a year!) so what do other people do regarding this?
Current cover expires in several days so definitely need it!

Well can't you cancel your policy once you've exchanged contracts? ( imean get a new policy then...)0

I mean I've not even got a valuation for it yet or spoke to estate agent, but my current house insurance runs out in a few days so is it worth paying for the year or changing insurers to a short term policy?0

Just sign up for another year with the insurer that suits you best. When you sell the house, contact them to cancel the policy. You shouldn't have to pay much more than an additional month or so for not completing a 12 month term. Or transfer their cover to your next house?0

Why bother !!!!
What would happen if the property caught fire, flood even in the summer, broken into.
It is a requirement of your mortgage company that you have buildings insurance and you also need contents insurance.
When you move ring up the insurance company and transfer the policy to the new property ! May cost £20/300
