I've moved house — what do I need to update?
Tell your insurer your new address and contact details so they can reach you. Then check whether the move has changed your mortgage, household costs or who lives with you, as your cover may need reviewing. If your mortgage has increased, your life or critical illness cover may no longer be enough.
Mortgage-linked cover
Decreasing cover arranged for your old mortgage may not match the new one.
Bank details
If you changed bank accounts too, make sure your direct debits moved correctly.
Guaranteed insurability
Some policies let you increase cover after moving home without full medical questions.
