Our services
Darren focuses on selling indemnity policies for conveyancing. When people want their property transactions to happen yesterday, these insurance policies help home transactions to complete quickly and smoothly.
Selling or buying a home is stressful. Often, we’re talking about someone’s life: their home decides where their children go to school or how long their commute is. A home is our biggest asset but in England and Wales, the process is fraught.
Without the right advice, buying can affect your life for years to come. Take Andrew and Gail Wallbank who inherited a farm in Warwickshire. The Church of England told them to pay around £230,000 to repair their local church and they faced legal costs of £250,000 – as a covenant in the property’s deeds made them liable.
As well as church repairs, our policies cover: no search – for the lender; lack of building regulations; breach of planning permission; adverse possession; absence of easement for access and services; restrictive covenants on freehold and leasehold; mining and mineral rights; flying freehold; absent landlords; and contingent building insurance.
An indemnity policy makes the sales process quicker and more straightforward. They protect the homeowner from an issue, such as church repairs, coming back in the years ahead at a huge cost. Without insurance, The homeowner is at risk of financial liability should the issue arise and the solicitor is unable to rectify the issue.
