Embarking on a self-build project is an exciting journey that lets you design a home uniquely suited to your tastes and lifestyle. However, along with the excitement comes a range of risks and challenges. One of the most important considerations is whether you need a self-build structural warranty. Traditional home insurance covers finished homes, but it doesn’t typically extend to buildings under construction, leaving self-builders exposed to a variety of potential setbacks. That’s where a self-build warranty and construction insurance can make all the difference.

What is a Self-Build Structural Warranty?

A self-build structural warranty is a policy tailored specifically for those building or renovating their own homes. Unlike standard home insurance, the warranty starts when the property is completed, but the cover is for any defects in construction or workmanship.

For additional long-term protection, a self-build structural warranty is essential. This 10-year warranty provides coverage for latent defects or structural faults that could not have been detected before completion, offering peace of mind for anyone planning an extension, renovation, conversion or new-build.
