Why is a structural warranty needed?

In order to obtain a mortgage, most banks and building societies require new buildings to have a structural warranty in place as it covers any risks that are not included in standard buildings insurance such as design, materials or workmanship. This is technically known as latent defects insurance. It also gives the client piece of mind.

Consumer Code for House Builders.

The new Consumer Code for Home Builders will become active for purchasers of new homes on or after 1 April 2010.

It clarifies the responsibilities and actions required by developers and warranty providers to improve service and complaint resolution to customers of new homes. It is the result of the Barker Review in 2004 and the Office of Fair Trading Study in 2008.

Details of the enhancements to consumer protection are detailed on this website;
