This provides protection against non-compliance with the warranty provider\u2019s technical manual and may include non-structural issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Structural Insurance\u00a0\u2013 this consists of the principal part of the warranty and covers against structural issues after the defects period expires.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Contaminated Land\u00a0\u2013 protects against the cost of removing contamination from the housing plot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Building Control Cover\u00a0\u2013 if features of the house were not built in compliance with building regulations and can result in a danger to the health of residents this can cover the costs to rectify any issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Deposit Protection\u00a0\u2013 should the developer become insolvent during the build this protects the homeowner\u2019s deposit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What are the different types of structural warranty available?<\/h3>\n<p>Commercial Buildings Warranty offers comprehensive financial protection to ensure that commercial buildings can be safely sold, leased, or rented out, removing the risk of liability for the landlord if structural problems occur. To apply, the building must be used for commercial purposes, or contain a commercial unit.<\/p>\n<p>A High rise buildings\/major projects warranty is developed specifically for buildings that are 6 storeys and over.<\/p>\n<p>Build to Rent warranty protects the developers and investors directly against potential structural defects, unlike traditional\u00a0warranties that protect a homebuyer who may be self-funded or purchase the property via a mortgage.<\/p>\n<p>Social Housing Warranty protects newly built or converted properties which are used for social\/affordable rent against latent defects. It can also be used for shared ownership\/shared equity schemes.<\/p>\n<p>Completed Housing Warranty is designed to cover completed properties which do not already have the benefit of a structural warranty<\/p>\n<p>Simple Completion is available for those selling completed or partially completed homes which they have acquired through Developer insolvency.<\/p>\n<p>High Value Scheme provides 10 or 12 years&#8217; protection against structures with a reinstatement value anywhere between \u00a325-50m or more.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I need structural warranty insurance?<\/h3>\n<p>If you are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/conversion-warranty\/95997\/\">building or\u00a0converting a new home<\/a>, a structural warranty is recommended prior to construction, in addition to building regulations approval. However, you may not need a warranty if you are building a conservatory or an extension, but you will still need to comply with building regulations to ensure the property is structurally safe.<\/p>\n<h3>Is structural warranty compulsory for a self-build mortgage?<\/h3>\n<p>Structural warranty is not compulsory for a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/insurance-needed-self-build\/47861\/\">self-build mortgage<\/a>, however, most lenders will require one, and you may have problems when it comes to selling a house that is less than ten years old if you don\u2019t have a self-build mortgage warranty.<\/p>\n<p>A structural warranty is also often a requirement for obtaining a self-build mortgage. So while it might not be a legal requirement, you will encounter several obstacles if you choose not to take out a policy for your self-build mortgage.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use an architect\u2019s certificate instead of structural warranty?<\/h3>\n<p>Some self-builders may opt for an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.architectscertificate.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">architect\u2019s certificate<\/a>. This is a signed statement that confirms that the build has been supervised and constructed in line with building regulations. It may be cheaper than a warranty however, it usually only covers six years and is not an underwritten insurance policy.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, there are no real alternatives to a structural warranty if you have a self-build mortgage or you are looking to sell within 10 years \u2014 it is likely a cost you will have to accept, but one that provides a great deal of protection for you and your new home.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I select the right structural warranty?<\/h3>\n<p>The\u00a0structural warranty sector is a fast-moving market that has become crowded, which can make it overwhelming to navigate.<\/p>\n<p>To make sure you\u2019re choosing the right insurance policy for you, consider asking yourself the following questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is the policy excess?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Does the policy include a defects period?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is the financial limit for each property?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is there an overall policy limit?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is water ingress excluded from cover?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Does the policy fit your requirements?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Are you confident you have the right level of support for any eventuality?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Does your insurance broker provide a dedicated relationship manager to ensure help and advice are always available?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is your chosen broker experienced in the property and construction sector?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is the insurance policy underwritten by a specialist property insurance provider?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Can your broker commit to having your insurance certificate in place in time for completion?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are now several\u00a0structural warranty providers\u00a0to choose from.

A lower-rated insurer, such as a \u2018B\u2019 or \u2018C\u2019, is deemed to have a poorer ability to settle claims, so it might be wise to opt for an \u2018A-rated insurer\u2019 to protect yourself even further.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/guides-reviews\/your-new-home-warranty-guide\/102187\/\">New Home Warranties<\/a>\u00a0typically provide cover for 10-12 years, if the structural warranty provider your policy is held with goes out of business before the end of your contract, your property could end up uninsured and in breach of mortgage conditions.<\/p>\n<p>In the instance that your structural warranty provider goes out of business, the cheaper premium could lead to you forking out more money in the long run and you will also have to pay for another new warranty in order to sell the property onwards. Most mortgage lenders require a New Home Warranty before they will lend funds to the buyer.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018 thousands of new homeowners were left without vital structural defects insurance following the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/collapse-of-insurance-firm-alpha\/43949\/\">collapse of unrated Danish insurance firm Alpha<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re unsure who you\u2019re currently insured under, it\u2019s paramount that you find out.<\/p>\n<p>To get a measure of how experienced a company is, consider asking the following questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How long have they been providing structural warranties?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Are they a member of the Consumer Code for Home Builders?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Are they accepted by all major mortgage lenders?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>How do I get a structural warranty?<\/h3>\n<p>Structural warranty schemes tend to follow a similar process:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The applicant submits plans, specifications, a completed application form and an application payment to the provider.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The provider will calculate a quote for the policy. The fee is calculated based on the individual property but is mainly linked to the floor area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An inspector will visit the applicant for an appraisal meeting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The applicant signs and returns an acceptance letter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The warranty provider will supply a technical manual, other policy documents and a site folder to log progress and inspection results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The build begins and site inspections are requested at designated stages to check compliance with the warranty standards. It is worth noting that often the technical standards required by the warranty provider are higher than those required by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/building-control-application\/88633\/\">building control<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When the build is complete and all stage certificates and a completion certificate have been issued the 10-year structural warranty begins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, although you may think that if your project meets all the building regulations nothing can go wrong, unfortunately, that is not always the case. Inspectors, architects and builders can make mistakes, there can be faults with the building materials you use in the structure of a new building or there could be issues with the land the building is constructed on.
