Essential cover in case the sale of your property falls through.
The process of selling a property, whether it’s your home or a buy-to-let, can be a painstaking, stressful and often an emotional experience. There are enough moving parts to worry about without the added concern of the sale of your property falling through. A property sale falling through not only effects logistics and time, but also your finances. We offer Home Sellers Protection Insurance to cover your up-front conveyancing costs should the property transaction fail, and your sale not go through successfully. The cover is designed to keep your finances secure, regardless of the outcome of the sale.
Anyone who is selling a property to a buyer is putting initial costs at risk should the sale of your property not go through successfully. These costs are made up primarily of conveyancing fees, that can roll into thousands of pounds that could be lost if the property sale falls through. Home Sellers Protection insurance, or House Sellers Insurance as it is often known as, is something that anyone selling their property should look to put in place.
What Does Home Sellers Protection Insurance Cover?

There are several eventualities that are covered, and certain events that are not covered under the policy terms, and we’d like to ensure that all the policy information is made clear and available to anyone looking at taking out the cover. Home Sellers Protection Cover insures you against the costs of solicitor’s fees and disbursements that would otherwise be unrecoverable in a wide range of events.
