Question: Can a lender demand that a home buyer purchase a specified amount of insurance, or purchase a policy from a specified lender?

Answer: While lenders are free to insist that sufficient insurance is purchased to protect the lender's financial interest, they may not require customers, as a condition of the loan, to purchase insurance from any particular insurer. Provisions in the California Civil Code prohibit lenders from requiring insurance in excess of the replacement value of whatever building or other improvements are on the land.
