Indemnity Insurance query

TommyTucker_2

Hello

Please could someone help?

I'm selling my home, and the buyer's solicitors have asked for me to put in place the following:-

1. Missing Deed Indemnity Insurance (due to me having no copy of a development brief mentioned in the restrictive covenant); and

2. Building Regulation Approval Indemnity Insurance (due to me not being able to confirm the position re. building regs. for installation of some windows).

I've googled both these types of insurance, and am drawing a blank.

Can anyone please point me in the direction of a company that could help? Is it something that I can take out online, or will I need to discuss it in depth with someone?

Many thanks for any assistance.

What does your Solicitor say?
You wil have a very busy and expensive time if you do everything the vendors solicitor asks.

You might get lucky here with the windows ...

It is pretty odd that they are trying to get you to put in place the indemnity insurance.

Tell them to sort it out. If you are happy to pay for the indemnities then say so.

If not, and generally I wouldn't be, then tell them to sort their own **** out (politely) and that the buyer can pay for their own insurance.

Your solicitor/conveyancer will sort this out for you - indemnity insurers do not generally deal with the public. Because of the specialist nature of the business they prefer not to have to answer lots of unnecessary questions that they would not get from solicitors.

You have got a solicitor or conveyancer acting for you???
