Estate Agents
Have you lost a sale when the offer was accepted but the client couldn’t source the right insurance cover required to exchange?
If you don't want insurance to get in the way of a sale
Why Choose Howden?
In our experience, clients leave home insurance to the last minute, mainly as they assume arranging this is easy. But there are all sorts of things that can derail what seems like a straightforward sale from a non-standard property to an usual circumstance causing problems and if your client can’t find cover, it may adversely affect the property purchase.
That’s where we step in. We help your client navigate the home insurance market and work with them to find the right policy. We’re also available to step in at short notice, as we understand that sometimes a client may leave insurance to that final moment.

Indemnity cover
We have access to a variety of indemnity policies, including Chancel Repair, Restrictive Covenant, and Planning Permission.
A case in point: Saving a property purchase
We had a referral from a nation-wide estate agent whose client was purchasing a £3m property in Surrey. The property had suffered two previous subsidence incidents and, as many of us have experienced, obtaining subsidence cover for properties with previous history for this issue is famously difficult. The mortgage provider required that cover for subsidence was included, with a maximum excess of £1,000. So the client’s likelihood of purchasing the property rested upon whether we were able to obtain the cover.
By leveraging our experience and relationships, we successfully secured the necessary cover and the purchase went ahead. Both the client and estate agent were thrilled with the outcome.
