I'm buying a new house and I gather the bank will require buildings insurance in place before they issue the check.
My question is when should I arrange for the cover to start? I'm expecting to close the sale of the house around the 15th August. Does I need the house insurance policy certificate when I request the check from the bank? If so I guess I should arrange cover from the 1st August so that I have the paperwork in time?

I'm closing on the 11th Aug hopefully - have arranged cover to start on the 1st Aug in case I get early access, it's only €40 per month and spread over 11 months I get the 1st month off without payment.
