Self-build insurance
We know that whether you've just bought a plot of land or are already laying the foundations to build your own unique, custom designed home, insurance probably isn't the most interesting part of your project.
It is however, one of the most important and can even be required by law. So, before you even pick up a hammer, it's a good idea to get both yourself and your construction covered.
What is Self-build insurance?
Self-build insurance protects you and the home you're building during construction work.
It's a specialist product that covers you against the risk of any damage or injury that might occur while working on your self-build site and includes liability and physical damage cover.
Public Liability up to £5 million to protect you in case of public injury on your self-build.
Contract Works up to £1 million to cover the cost of replacing or repairing the structure being built.
Structural Warranty protects your finished property for 10 years.
Do I need Self-build insurance?
Building a house can be an exciting prospect. From the foundations to the top of the chimney, we know that a project like this can be both daunting but also highly rewarding.
If you've ever wanted to build your own house, we realise it's unlikely you'll have considered insurance, but with most home insurance policies not covering self-build projects, it's crucial to ensure your dream is covered.
