Build-to-Rent Warranty at Build-Zone

Flexible Build-to-Rent warranties for developers

The Build-to-Rent (BtR) sector is growing rapidly, with an increasing number of opportunities emerging in key cities across the UK. As a BtR developer or investor, you may plan to hold onto the whole property yourself – or you may be interested in selling all or some of your assets. The key is flexible Build-to-Rent protection.

A Build-Zone Build-to-Rent warranty enables you to sell within the first 10 or 12 years following completion, giving you a decade or more of flexibility to make the most of your BtR developments.

Approved by UK Finance, our warranties are tailored specifically for the unique needs and challenges of the Build-to-Rent sector, and cover developments of all sizes. With 20+ years of expert experience in the warranty market, and a network of fully independent external Technical Auditors and Engineers that we partner with, you can trust us to build the right BtR warranty for you.

The importance of Build-to-Rent Warranties

As we all know, buildings come with risks that might not present themselves right away. For projects like Build-to-Rent developments where developers or investors will be holding onto and leasing out buildings to buyers or tenants, futureproofing the building with a warranty is crucial to ensuring structural defects donʼt come back to haunt them down the line.

The difference between Build-to-Rent and regular structural warranties is that Build-to Rent warranties protect the developer or investor directly as theyʼll still be responsible for the building, whereas other structural warranties cover the building and the subsequent owner of once purchased.

Make your development more attractive

Not only does a Build-to-Rent warranty provide peace of mind to you as a developer or an investor, but it will also make your building more appealing to potential buyers or tenants. Having a long-term warranty in place for your structure shows integrity as a developer or builder, and your overall commitment to quality.

Cover Inherent Defects for peace of mind all round

Any issues in design, workmanship or materials are inherent defects, which can potentially arise years after the build. Having a warranty in place for such issues, particularly in the Build-to-Rent sector, is crucial for earning the respect of investors or tenants.
