Home buyer protection recommendations

[wrped]

Hi

First time buyer here, does anyone have any experience or recommend a good home buyer protection insurance?

Ive heard horror stories, i dont want to lose all the solicitor/surveyor fees if seller backs out or surveyor finds something wrong.

Thank you kindly

wish I had known about this. Protects sellers too? We are on our third set, and budget is scaring them

Bit of a low blow

Just googled it, Home Owners Alliance do seller protection

dont know if they any good but worth looking around

My conveyancers offered an option via homebuyers alliance that was about £60 and covered up to 180 days from MOS, there are longer policies you can take out eg in case it’s a leasehold or more complex sale and they’re about £100 for a full year. I thankfully didn’t have to use it. I knew such a thing existed as a friend had it and when her first house purchase collapsed it saved her being near £2k out of pocket.
In the grand scheme of things the £100 or whatever was absolutely worth it for the peace of mind - another thread on here tonight has someone’s vendor pulling out with 30 minutes notice and they’re down £5k in fees etc.
