House insurance when moving query

Moving house, selling and buying. Could someone explain the best way to deal with house insurance as I will need it on the house I'm in and the house I'm going to during the gap between exchange and completion, I think!

there may be a short period of insuring both properties, but, your solicitor should be able to tell you exactly what date to insure your new home from. good luck0

Hi
You keep the insurance running for building and contents on your old home and then from exchnage youinsure your new house for buildings. Get in touch with your insurance company or broker and they sort it all out for you. Do this before you exchange just to make sure that your exisiting insurance company will insure your new property and so they have all the details on your file. So on exchnage day you phone them up and get them to start it. I got the impression from mine that they are all set up for when this happens and knew exactly what to do. Hope this helps.0
