How does a Structural Warranty work?
Your surveyor will contact you to organise a technical audit schedule. Once the build gets to each pre-defined stage of the build, the inspector will visit the site and check that all of the work has been carried out. Any issues will need to be rectified before the stage can be signed off by the inspector. Once all stages are signed off and the completion certificate has been received, the final Structural warranty certificate will be issued.
Technical audits are different to building control visits which inspect the property for building regulations compliance. Warranty Technical Audits inspect the property to the insurers Technical Standard Manual. Additionally, this includes checks of the design, workmanship and materials.
The Policy is against the house and will pass to any new owners of the property.
