Just wondering if anyone had a similar experience.

We got planning permission for a house in our Uncles name (long story)
The site is in my name and we have started some building works, not through a mortgage but some savings we had. I am now in a dilemma as i want to insure the property but i am concerned about the legalities with the planning being in my uncle’s name. I rang an insurance broker and gave all the details; i am waiting for them to reply.

Does anyone have any feedback?
 

You can get insurance for anything that you have legal interest in. Planning Permission is not legal interest. If the site is owned by you in your name then you can insure it no problem
 
We got cover for the duration of our build with arachas. don't remember them asking anything about the planing permission when quoting.
