What Does Latent Defects Insurance Cover?
Latent defects insurance, which is also known as a building warranty, covers the cost of repairing certain defects in a building because of a problem with design, materials or construction.
Here in the UK, latent defects cover is a requirement of financiers for all new build residential open market sales. However, it can also be purchased and is recommended for commercial and mixed-use developments.
Often, defects in workmanship, materials or design only become apparent after the completion date. On occasion, it may even take years for the defects to become apparent.
As they appear after completion and are normally within the building's structure, the defects can be expensive to rectify. Thankfully, latent defects insurance can cover the cost of repairs or rebuilding in these scenarios.
