Sort your buildings insurance for completion
Why this matters
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.
Use a whole-of-market comparison to see every UK provider in one go. Quotes are typically valid for 30 days, so you can lock one in now and activate it on exchange.
