Thanks Sunshine, very helpful.

Indeed, as long as you ensure that you get agreement to waiver your current notice period, there is absolutely no reason to even think about a new policy until middle of December (sorry, that is for those whose E106 is expiring start January).   They will be lining up to take your money.    

Just a quick update on my posting earlier regarding my health insurance agent and their lack of response regarding my desire to cancel my current top up outside of the renewal period. I have now had a further communication from my insurance agent (my policy is with AGF) and they have now agreed that due to my change in circumstances the 2 month renewal period will be waivered, and no charges incurred.    They also promise details of a new policy which will be suitable, soon.   How soon ... we shall see, similarly how suitable I suppose.

Just for information, my health insurer (top up policy with AGF) is now steadfastly refusing to respond to my emails regarding my right (not sure whether I have one, but that doesn't stop me trying !) to cancel my existing policy outside of the current time limits (my E106 expires January 08).   They assure me that they can provide me with a 'suitable alternative product' but seem somewhat reluctant to a.  provide details or costs of such product or b.  answer my queries as to what happens if said product does not meet my requirements. Sigh ... a stroppy phone call is in order it seems.

It's good stuff.   It's just going to take a while to check through all the relevant links ...  thanks Makafai.
