It is valid. On the strength of the indemnity bond the purchaser can bring a legal action against the seller in the event of any third party disputes emanating in respect of the property purchased by him.
Does it make a difference if the indemnity clause is included in the sale deed instead of making a separate indemnity bond. Do both carry the same level of safety
