Frequently asked questions

What does defective title indemnity insurance cover?
It covers legal costs and financial loss if someone successfully challenges your ownership or rights over a property, or if a title defect (such as a missing easement) causes loss.
Is it a one-off premium or annual?
Defective title indemnity is typically arranged with a single premium payment providing cover for the life of ownership. The policy usually transfers to subsequent owners automatically.
When is defective title insurance needed?
It's commonly used during property transactions where the solicitor identifies a title defect that can't be resolved before completion—such as missing documents, unclear boundaries or problematic covenants.
