One of the plot devices used in the TV series 'Don't Wait Up' if I remember correctly. Happily it all turned out well in the end for the Nigel Havers character. Showing my age there, again.
I'd be very surprised if the purchaser hadn't received a letter from their solicitor stating in very clear and unambiguous terms that they needed to sort out insurance from the date of exchange. I certainly did.
