Residential Abortive Transaction Insurance Solicitors

For less than £90 (including IPT) you can add the Residential Abortive Transaction Insurance from PSG to your instructions and help safeguard your fees whilst also providing additional peace of mind.

As part of our service we offer the Residential Abortive Transaction Insurance (RATI) if your matter does not proceed for reasons outside your control, then our fee is cover by the Insurance. This also includes the fees for the disbursements already incurred at the point of cancellation.

However this might be only part of the solution.

According to a recently released 'Fall Through Index' complied by Quick Move Now, over a quarter of home sales fail to complete, which is the highest number of aborted transactions that the market has seen since mid 2012.

With our still fragile economic climate, it is important that in the event of a transaction failing to complete, you are not left out of pocket.
