If you are paying on mortgage you will probably find it has already been included in your sale for the first year and then you can shop around.

I was going to shop around with Sabadell my bank because they used Mapfrei which is quite expensive but while getting quotes I got a letter from Sabadell to say they were going to do it themselves and the quote I got from them was very competitive, so I use them now.

Hi Bernice, exciting isn't it, I completed on a house in VM in November and when it came to completion day my bank Sabadel arranged it for me for the first year ( can't remember the cost but just went with it so I can leave it until next year to really shop around) good luck!! Are you moving out ...

Hi Bernice, congratulations! 

My husband and I are in the same situation only a few weeks ahead of you. I was going to give you my experience but  it I see that you have already been given exactly the same story already. We took our insurance with our bank, Sabadell, very painlessly after completion. ...

Good luck, hope the completion all goes smoothly and you are enjoying your new home before you know it!

All the best
