Frequently asked questions
How long will the underwriting process take - can you come back to me today?
Simple transactions can be completed quickly, while more complex risks may take 24 to 48 hours. We will always aim to respond to your query on the same day.
What information do you require for a legal indemnity quotation?
Our legal indemnities guide outlines the information required.
We will require you to complete a proposal form for more complex risks, such as right of light, missing beneficiary or lost share certificates.
Can a legal indemnity policy be protected from inflation?
Yes.
Many underwriters add an 'escalator clause'. This raises the indemnity limit by an agreed percentage over an agreed number of years. Contact us to learn more.
If my client is a successor in title, how do I ensure the policy is adequate?
A copy of the original submission is normally available from the underwriters. They will consider any cover changes or amendments on request. Contact us to learn more.
What is an adequate limit of indemnity?
There is no set formula for calculating the limit of indemnity.
However, most lenders will require a sum equal to that of the purchase price of the property or full development value. If you wish to obtain varied limits for due consideration, we would be happy to accommodate this request.
