Norwegian term or phrase: eierskifteforsikring
I can make up a term that explains it but are there any English-speaking countries that have something similar?

Yes, I was a bit quick there. Did not read it through properly. I found "latent defects insurance" when searching for "hidden defects insurance" (the term given for "eierskifteforsikring" in my dictionary), to see if this really was correct.

I'm not an insurance expert, but if you Google 'Norwegian change of ownership insurance' the term seems to get translated as such. Perhaps non-equivalence prevails here and the translated term is just self-explanatory. Maybe someone else will come up with something better :)
