Insurance brokers and Intermediaries need to consider the importance of advising clients of the future requirements for structural warranty in the sales and leasing cycle of a development.

A 10 year structural warranty policy is becoming increasingly popular on conversions and extensions as well as residential and commercial development projects. The requirement of a structural warranty is usually driven by the bank or building society either lending on the development or as mortgagor of the finished unit. However it is a major risk management vehicle in terms ongoing liability under the Defective Premises Act. 

It imposes a duty (which cannot be excluded or restricted) on a person “taking on work” in connection with the provision of a dwelling to see that the work which it takes on is done in a workmanlike, professional manner with proper materials so that the dwelling will be fit for habitation when completed.

This means that where a dwelling has not been built with proper materials that make it fit for habitation, those “taking on work” can face compensation claims from homeowners. Those “taking on work” includes building contractors and developers.

The provision of a structural warranty is usually project specific and will not necessarily be related to a contractors all risks renewal date making it an attractive door opener for construction insurance brokers.
