What is Build Assure New Housing?

Build Assure New Housing is a flexible underwriting approach to New Home warranties. Our targeted building insurance caters for innovative forms of construction, renovation or refurbishment. Build Assure New Housing is a recognised alternative to traditional 10-year structural warranties currently available for New Homes.
 

Why should I use Build Assure?

Build Assure New Housing is perfect for builders, self builders, developers and homeowners. You'll get full technical support from our experts - including a specialist technical review, and our premiums are competitively priced, giving you great cover at an excellent rate
 

What type of cover is available?

 With Build Assure New Housing, cover is:

 

  • Available for mixed-use developments

  • Often available once construction has begun

  • Available for contract values of up to £10 million.

 

Cover encompasses a one year defect period for your the builder (two years for water ingress), and then complete risk transfer in years three to ten.
 

What is the technical process?

We wanted to help you achieve zero defects in your building projects. So we developed The BuildAssure risk analysis, to assist with your New Home warranty requirements.

Each review is based on structured check lists appropriate to your specific development. We then manage the risk of defects manifesting after one year (two years for water ingress).

 

How much does it cost?

All premiums are based only on contract values rather than selling price (and land costs in many instances). This makes the whole system more transparent.
