BuildCare Structural Warranty
Cover Details
As you would expect, BuildCare Structural Warranty is highly competitive and great value for money. What's more because our policy involves a series of key inspections, the surveyors' certificates from these technical audits can be used to confirm the stage that your project has reached, allowing you to request the release of your next stage of funds.
Shoud you decide to sell your property in the future, you'll find that our policy will give potential purchasers the peace of mind that the building was completed professionally and is covered by an insurance backed structural warranty for 10 years from completion. Many banks and building societies are unwilling to provide funds on new, or newly converted properties less than 10 years old, unless covered by a structural warranty.
