Home Buyers Insurance

Home buyers insurance is insurance for anyone buying a property. Once you’ve exchanged contracts with the seller, you’re contracted to buy the property. For example,  even if a major leak makes it uninhabitable, you’re still legally obliged to go through with the purchase.

Some insurance companies don’t like to insure a property when someone other than you is living in it – which is technically what happens after you’ve exchanged contracts with the seller of your new property. It is worth checking as you  may need a specialist policy.

No – we can add your contents in once you move, so you can carry on under the same policy. We’re flexible, so for instance, if the property is going to be unoccupied for a while, if you’re going to rent it out, if you’re going to have refurbishment work done, our policy will adapt to your needs. Just keep us informed of your circumstances and we can update your policy accordingly.

If something happens to your property after you’ve exchanged with buyers, and they don’t have their own insurance in place, our policy means they're covered too.
