10-Year New Build Guarantee
Yours From Day One

A New Home Warranty from Build-Zone is a new build guarantee that covers your new build once complete from structural issues that may be caused by defects in design, material or workmanship.

Building a new home is a big investment. It takes time, money and hard work to reach the point of sale, so it’s crucial you protect them from day one with a new build warranty.

Accepted by the majority of UK lenders, our 10-year new build warranty provides peace of mind that your project is protected, while enabling you to sell the property and pass on the guarantee to your buyer.

New build home warranty, from builder to buyer

When a new build moves from seller to buyer, our new home warranty transfers straight to the new owner – giving them peace of mind their new home is protected in the event of any structural issues or latent defects for the first 10 years from completion.

If your property is protected by our new build guarantee and you need to make a claim, we’re here to help. You’ll find everything you need to know on our claims page.

Without a structural warranty in place, a new build home is only guaranteed for around 1-2 years, during which time the builder is obligated to repair any defects that arise. A 10-year new build warranty offers homeowners and builders alike peace of mind that the structure is protected for 10 years. The policy will be passed on to any new owners of the home in that 10-year period, although it will protect only the original structures that were in place at the time the policy was taken out. This means that any loft conversions, extensions or other additional structures will not be covered under the new build warranty.

New home builder warranty
essential for home sales

Even with the best of care, building houses is complex and sometimes things go wrong. Latent structural issues may take years to appear and can be extremely expensive to fix. As a result, you may struggle to sell your new build house without a warranty, because the majority of mortgage lenders won’t take the risk of releasing funds for a home that’s not insured.

Developer warranties like ours provide a guarantee to lenders and homeowners that if any structural issues arise after completion, the costs of repair are covered. New home warranties last for 10 or 12 years, so we only use insurers who are independently rated as secure.

Available on new builds, conversion projects and mixed-use developments, our new home warranty is accepted by the majority of lenders in the UK – making it much easier for you to sell your new builds.
