Our 10 year structural warranty product is an alternative to an architect's certificate and the NHBC / Zurich warranties. It is accepted by all lenders and offers you protection from defective workmanship, design and products for 10 years from completion.

Do I need one?
Apart from the peace-of-mind you gain with this product, you are likely to find your lender requires it as part of their lending criteria. Also, if your circumstances change and you should need to sell the property in the next 10 years you will find that your buyer's lender will also need to see a structural warranty for the building before they lend them any money.
