What does a 10-year structural warranty cover?
For anyone building or converting a new home, it’s recommended for the builder to purchase a structural warranty before construction even begins. This insurance policy will legally protect the homeowner if structural defects are discovered during the first several years after completion.
Even the best of builders can’t always guarantee there won’t be any issues with materials or the quality of their work down the line. A Building Control Completion Certificate can confirm that it meets health and safety regulations, but it won’t protect you financially if something goes wrong.
