Keeping your clients’ property transactions on track

Legal risks uncovered during due diligence can delay or derail a residential property sale. DUAL provides Residential Legal Indemnity insurance for risks tied to title, use and ownership.

Our cover protects owners and lenders from loss, allowing your clients to move forward with transactions quickly and with certainty.

Key benefits

Faster completions

Specific Risk cover means red-flag issues can be resolved quickly. This helps you deliver smoother transactions for your clients.

Boost client confidence

Offer long-term protection against legal risks that could otherwise recur. Most of the policies remain in perpetuity for only a one-off fee.

Stronger broker and conveyancer propositions

Go beyond price-driven conversations. Offer solutions that protect owners and lenders, making you the broker or conveyancer who keeps deals alive.

Perpetual security

Policies often extend to future owners and lenders. That makes your advice valuable long after completion and strengthens your role as a trusted partner.

Specific Risk insurance

We cover the risks that slow down or block residential property transactions. This allows you to give your clients certainty at every stage. Policies cover:

Protects against existing restrictions on land use that could reduce value of previous or future developments.

Safeguards missing rights of access and services, removing uncertainty for buyers and lenders.

Indemnity for defects in repair and insurance obligations and clauses, protecting against the lack of ability to enforce obligations.

Covers issues where past alterations were made without required approval or completion certification, allowing sales to progress the property.

Protection for the buyer and lender where the title has inferior class of title or where the seller is not providing full title guarantee.

Safeguard financial loss where there is a gifted deposit or sale at undervalue to avoid creditors.

Cover for unknown entries affecting the market value of the property.

Protection against third-party ownership of minerals under the property that could impact value (if those rights are exercised to extract minerals beneath the property).

Risk appetite

We support a range of residential property transactions, providing cover for:

Owner or lender of residential property
Tenants and landlords
Mortgage lenders and funders
Conveyancers and their clients.
