What is indemnity<br />

insurance and do you<br />

really need it?<br />

Buying property is likely to be<br />

the biggest transaction we’ll<br />

ever make, and it’s not entirely<br />

without risk. Naturally, this combination<br />

makes the whole process an incredibly<br />

stressful business… and that’s before<br />

you’ve even thought about packing!<br />

To help alleviate some of the associated anxiety<br />

surrounding a property sale, insurance companies offer<br />

something called property indemnity insurance. These<br />

policies offer protection against a range of risks and you<br />

may be recommended by your conveyancer to take one<br />

out to cover a certain issue.<br />

In the most basic terms, indemnity insurance is protection<br />

against cost associated with issues already flagged up<br />

with a property you are about to purchase. It is, however,<br />

important to remember that such policies do not cover<br />

things such as repairs or replacements. Do you need<br />

indemnity insurance when buying a house? Not always, but<br />

if your conveyancer flags up an issue that could potentially<br />

cost you thousands in the future it would be foolish to<br />

dismiss such policies out of hand.<br />
