What is indemnity insurance when buying a house? An expert explains

18 December 2024


Indemnity insurance is sometimes recommended by conveyancers when a person is in the process of purchasing a home.

In an article for Homebuilding & Renovating, partner Lorna du Sautoy explains what homebuyers should know about indemnity insurance, including where it provides compensation and what it cannot do.

Title indemnity insurance is a type of insurance policy providing protection to a property owner for claims arising from a legal defect in their title to the property. Title indemnity insurance does not remedy the defective title. It provides compensation for financial loss arising from the defect.
