Winter 2024

Welcome to the Winter 2024 edition of intouch!

In this edition, we focus on the benefits of approaching us directly when your client has a development or commercial property transaction with a complex title issue. We also take a detailed look at a recent claim made on a Lack of Planning Consent policy, which demonstrates our Claims team’s expertise and their ability to reach a swift and successful resolution for our policyholder; and you can also read about our approach to combining policies.

In Ask the Experts, we answer some of the questions our underwriters are faced with the most; and as we head into the last few weeks of the year, you definitely won't want to miss our fantastic competition - you could win one of five Ultimate Christmas Party hampers from Fortnum & Mason, just in time for Christmas!

If you'd like to talk to us about any of the topics discussed in our articles, or to simply find out more about our products and services, call 01603 617617 or email enquiries@cli.co.uk.

Claims case study: A full house!

When claims occur on legal indemnity policies, the costs involved in resolving the situation can often be eye-watering. But as this case study shows, it can be the expertise of our team and the experts that we instruct, rather than simply writing a cheque, which leads to a successful resolution.

Complex cases - simple solution

Our focus has always been on providing unbeatable service directly to property law professionals. It’s why we took the decision a number of years ago not to deal with insurance brokers. In practice this means that if you want to obtain a quote for your client from the market leader, you can only do this by contacting Countrywide directly.

Classic combinations

We’re often asked to cover a single property against several title defects, which is why we offer a wide range of combined covers. Not only does this save you having to obtain multiple quotes for the same property, but the cost of a combined policy will automatically include a combined covers’ discount.
