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.
