Your mortgage lender will require buildings insurance to be live from the moment you exchange contracts — not completion. Missing this can delay exchange.
Buildings cover protects the structure. Contents cover protects what's in it. Most policies bundle both at a discount, and switching from your current renter's contents policy is usually cheaper than starting fresh.
