Cover
The gap left if the primary buildings policy turns out not to be in force or not to respond when a loss occurs.
Whether a policy is appropriate, and on what terms, is a matter for the conveyancer on the individual title. Premiums, limits of indemnity and exclusions are set by the insurer and are not reproduced here. Where a lender is involved, its own requirements on indemnity policies sit in Part 2 of the Handbook.
