Solution
Legal Indemnities
Legal issues affecting the ownership, use or development of property can delay transactions and create financial uncertainty. Legal Indemnity Insurance helps protect buyers and lenders against financial loss, enabling property transactions to proceed with greater confidence.
Helping property transactions
move forward
Title defects are often identified during due diligence, refinancing or development. Resolving them directly can be costly, time-consuming or impractical, potentially putting funding and transaction timelines at risk. Legal Indemnity cover does not resolve the underlying defect. Instead, it provides financial protection should the issue result in a reduction in property value, helping protect the balance sheet and interests of buyers, lenders and investors.
Challenges our clients face
Title defects
Problems affecting ownership or title can delay completion and make buyers or lenders reluctant to proceed.
Mortgage funding
Legal risks may affect a client’s ability to obtain mortgage funding or satisfy a lender’s requirements.
Development and planning risks
Issues relating to the use or development of a property can create additional costs, delays or uncertainty.
Transaction delays
Defects identified during due diligence may prevent a transaction from progressing while the parties consider how the risk should be addressed.
Financial exposure
Where a title defect affects the value of a property, buyers, lenders and investors may face financial loss.
Complex transactions
Larger or more complex transactions can involve significant limits of indemnity and require specialist advice to structure appropriate protection.
