Custom Build Home Warranty
Our Custom Build home warranty caters for the recent development of the custom build model endorsed by the government. It takes into consideration the transfer of interest that occurs at some point during the construction phase from the builder or developer to the self builder or custom builder. The cover provided responds to the various exposures and contractual obligations of a custom build. It protects the homeowner in the event the property suffers physical damage or the risk of physical damage as a result of a defect in the design, workmanship, or components of the home. Unlike an architects certificate, the policy responds directly as there is no professional negligence to prove, making it a much more secure option.
The product is suitable for both public and private sector developments and is suitable for use with self-build mortgages and CIL exemption requirements, with the interest of the lender being noted.
Automatic successor in tile is a standard feature of the cover.
Stage release certification available as part of the technical audit process.
