Legal Indemnity

Introducing Legal Indemnity

Legal Indemnity is a single premium insurance which can help to protect buyers, mortgage lenders and future property owners from legal disputes concerning the ownership, occupation and use of land and buildings.

Why do clients need Legal Indemnity cover?

  • The purpose of Legal Indemnity cover is to help offer protection against a number of issues around buying, developing, selling, leasing or owning property.  
  • Anyone who operates a business in the real estate industry may want to take out Legal Indemnity cover such as property owners, landowners and property developers. 
  • Issues can arise at any point during a property development or transaction, with some potentially taking months to investigate or resolve. Having the cover in place could help to protect against these issues delaying a sale, purchase or project.
