SelfBuild Zone Limited

Typically, self-builders invest far more time and money into building their own homes than developers who have very little emotional interest in the property itself.

At SelfBuild Zone we know this and so our product is specifically designed for the self-build market. We appreciate the financial commitment which you embark upon during a self-build, which is why we offer competitive premiums and unbeatable service. Many of the team have either been serving in the self-build sector for years or have actually built themselves. This ensures that our product reflects the self-builders ever changing needs.

Our Structural Warranty is unique in that it does not require additional inspections and draws on the expertise already available at your site, be it an architect, surveyor or Building Control Inspector. Not only is the structure of your build covered for the ten years following completion but you are also covered with Environmental Impairment Liability and Legal Expenses which can prove invaluable both before and after your build is finished.

The majority of self-builders are looking to build a home for their family and are keen to get the best quality workmanship and materials available to them, which in turn provide them the comfort and security needed over the following years. A house in poor condition may present health and safety risks to the occupants and can dramatically decrease the value of a property. It is imperative self-builders eliminate the risk of the financial burden caused by unforeseen structural defects falling onto them. Due to the expense involved with building your own home, it is key to have everything adequately insured from the start of the project.

If your property is found to be suffering from a structural defect, it can become virtually impossible to insure. Without a warranty, it may become impossible to sell and one of the biggest fears for a self-builder is that a structural defect will affect the value of their property. In other words, the only people you could sell the house to, within the ten years following completion, would be someone funding the purchase themselves.

One of the reasons some self-builders ignore the need for a Structural Warranty is because they believe they will never sell their house. Unfortunately, unforeseen circumstances like divorce or illness often result in the reluctant sale of the house. In this situation, could you afford not to have a Structural Warranty?
