Building warranty insurance

What is building warranty/latent defects insurance?

Building warranty/latent defects insurance provides cover for the cost of remedying and rectifying damage arising from an inherent defect in design, workmanship or materials becoming apparent after practical completion.

• The cover provided is for the costs incurred up to the total amount insured (typically the full re-instatement value of the building)
• Cover is generally available for between five and twelve years from the date of practical completion
• Cover can also be extended to include:
  • Loss of rent
  • Loss of gross profit or revenue
  • Increased cost of working
  • Alternative accommodation
  • Mechanical and electrical services
  • Component failure.
