Homeowners

The builder of your new home has provided you with a 10 year Zurich Insurance warranty cover. Warranty cover is provided on newly constructed homes as well as conversions. This is intended to protect you from the  costs of repairing certain elements of your home which have suffered damage arising from a failure to build in accordance with our technical requirements at the time of construction or conversion of your new home.You can find our current technical manual outlining our requirements and guidance for developers and builders under the 'Developer/Builder' tab.

As a new homeowner, your builder will have sent the following key documents to your solicitor or conveyancer: policy booklet, building period certificate (required at exchange of contracts), insurance certificate (required at contract completion) and homeowners guide. You need to ensure that these key documents are made available to you at completion. If your property was first registered with us in 2007, it is possible that you may have access to the Property Log Book. Make sure that you ask your solicitor or conveyancer to request this information from your builder.
