One Week's Home Insurance

Hello
I am in the process of selling a house. All should have been done and dusted on 1 May to coincide with the expiry of my home insurance and the fixed term of my mortgage.
The usual shanigans with solicitors dragging their heals mean that the date has been pushed back and I need to make sure that the property is insured for a week or so.
Is it just as simple as buying an annual poicy and then asking for refund when the sale is complete?
Many thanks in advance.

Yes, in fact do it quickly enough and you might be within a cooling-off period and avoid any admin fees.0
