They can update your file and check if you have all the coverage you need. Besides the basics, like your new address, your representative will take down all the relevant information about your new home. Be sure to let them know if:
Will you be bringing some of your things to your new home before you move in? You’ll be glad to know the property you’re moving to your new home and items still at your old address will be covered for 30 days1.
Are you planning to hire a moving company? Choose carefully. Ask them for references as well as a copy of their insurance policy to find out if they have coverage that protects your property.
Friends helping you move? Depending on what’s included in your home insurance policy, your property in transit is covered. For example, if you have a home cinema that’s damaged during the move, “All Risks” would cover it, while “Named Perils” would not.
Are you storing some of your property? Your home insurance policy covers your stored personal belongings against theft for 30 days1 and you can extend that period if needed.
And there you go! The big move is behind you and you’re settling into your new place. Want more reassurance?
