When Can I Buy Home Buyers Protection Insurance?

One of the most frequently asked questions we face here at Rhino is when exactly can Home Buyers' Protection insurance be purchased. Understanding at what point in the home buying process the cover be taken out is very important, and we intend to answer this for you now.

The answer to this question is very simple. You can take out Home Buyers Protection cover within seven days of either officially instructing your solicitor or officially submitting your mortgage application.

Instructing your solicitor means that you are asking them to represent you in the purchasing of a property, subject to a memorandum of sale.

If this stage has occurred within seven days of taking out Home Buyers Protection insurance, you are eligible and will be covered.

Submitting your mortgage application means you have officially requested your mortgage from your mortgage company. Again, if this has happened within seven days, then you are eligible to take out Home Buyers Protection insurance.

Note that this process is not the 'mortgage in principle.' The actual process of submitting your mortgage application occurs once the mortgage in principle, has already been received.
