The importance of having a Structural Warranty from the outset

Undertaking a self-build may be a daunting process. After the initial excitement of creating your dream home, how do you ensure that your new construction is structurally safe?

By having a Structural Warranty in place from the outset, you are financially covered for any defects that may arise further down the line, due to defective materials or shoddy workmanship, or if contractors or builders become insolvent at any point.

It is an insurance policy that covers the cost of repairing structural defects in a new build property, a conversion, or a renovation, providing peace of mind to homeowners. It is also a mortgage lender requirement and without a Structural Warranty in place, you may not be able to lend money against the property or remortgage against it.

The specialist team at ABC + Warranty can also provide a Structural Warranty for completed properties, or ongoing projects if you appoint them partway through construction.

Originally established in 1989, ABC+ Warranty has almost 36 years of experience and they guarantee to beat any other genuine quotation. They also offer flexible payment options and a specialist lending facility, with the ability to integrate Structural Warranty or PCC costs into your lending requirements.

This can be a game-changer in the competitive world of real estate development, allowing developers to bring their projects to market sooner.

This flexibility ensures that developers aren’t burdened with unmanageable debt and can focus on achieving their project milestones instead.
