Build-Zone 10 Year Structural
Warranty
|
|
The Build-Zone 10 Year Structural Warranty is an alternative to the Homebond or Premier products. It a Structural Warranty
designed for new build, conversions and completed properties and is backed by an
(A) rated insurer.
|
The warranty has been designed with you in mind. We know the problems you
face and the speed with which you want to get moving, so all these things were
taken in to account at the development stage.
|
The project will be audited during the course of construction
by one of our nominated surveyors to ensure it complies with Planning and Building
Regulations as well as the requirements of the warranty provider. When the project
has been completed satisfactorily a final certificate will be issued and you will receive a comprehensive
10 year structural warranty which is fully transferable to any successor in title.
This has many advantages:-
- From initial notification, we can normally have a surveyor to site within 5 working
days. After initial notification, your nominated surveyor can be on site within
2 working days.
- You have a nominated surveyor looking after your project from start to finish and
will be able to communicate freely.
- A formal plan check is carried out along with calculations, if there are any foreseen
problems, they will be highlighted in a report.
- The surveyors are highly qualified and experienced individuals used to working with
self-build projects.

Do I need a Structural Warranty?
Apart from the peace-of-mind you gain with the Build-Zone Structural Warranty,
you are likely to find your lender requires it as part of their lending criteria.
Also, if your circumstances change and you should need to sell the property in the
next 10 years you will find that your buyer's lender will also need to see a
structural warranty for the building before they lend them any money. This product
has the advantage over an architect's certificate which is only really an extension
of the architect's professional indemnity insurance, requiring you to prove
negligence.
