TITLE DEED INDEMNITY

Title indemnity insurance (TII) provides crucial protection for property owners facing legal defects in their title, safeguarding against potential financial losses without requiring immediate resolution of the underlying issue. When title complications arise, this specialised coverage offers a pragmatic alternative to costly remediation efforts, particularly in situations where the actual risk of loss is assessed as minimal.

While property owners can secure TII at any stage of ownership, it most commonly enters the picture during property transactions. As part of the due diligence process, a purchaser’s solicitor may identify title defects that could complicate or delay the sale. Rather than allowing these complications to derail the transaction timeline, sellers can offer title indemnity insurance as an efficient solution that allows the sale to proceed without prejudice.

This insurance approach delivers significant advantages in terms of both cost-effectiveness and time efficiency. By addressing the financial implications of title defects without demanding immediate legal remediation, TII creates a path forward that protects all parties while maintaining transaction momentum. For property sales where title complications threaten to create bottlenecks, this insurance solution provides the necessary assurances to keep the process moving toward completion.
