    Hi all. I am trying to find out if I can get short term cover for my home. It has gone sale agreed and I expect the sale to close in approximately one month's time. My annual insurance is up next Monday and obviously I don't want to pay for another year's insurance. I also don't want to leave it without cover for the next month. What are my options?

    You renew your existing policy and then cancel when sold and get a pro rata return subject to no claims.

    Pay by direct debit and cancel when house is sold.

    If it's first time on direct debit then you usually have to pony up 30 percent deposit. And you can't just cancel. You aren't paying by the month. Your payment is just being facilitated by a credit agreement with the insurer.
