Insurance between exchange and completion

I'm trying to get insurance between exchange and completion and nowhere seems to offer it. Inurance sites ask how many people live in a property and other questions that don't apply four this period.
Does anyone have any recommendations on how to get insurance between exchange and completion?
Many thanks
Rob

Phone them up and speak to a human. They all do it, it may just not be programmed into the website.0

Ask your current provider? Our will provide us with insurance between exchange and completion (building only) along side our current insurance on the house we are living in.0

Could also check whether the sellers insurance will cover buyers for buildings insurance between exchange and completion. I was surprised to find that my MiLs Co-Operative Insurance policy had a clause in it that provided this additional element.0

It would be risky for a buyer to rely on the seller's insurance - unless a special term is put in the house sale contract saying that the seller must insure.
(The risk is that the buyer cannot be sure that the seller has insured the property adequately.)0 -

Plus the seller could just reuse to make a claim. No way I would rely on the sellers insurance!0 -
When I bought a few years ago, my lender, the Nationwide, offered this as standard (and I think, without cost, or at negligible added cost) if you insured with them the 1st year. Which I did before switching to a cheaper home insurer in years 2+0
