    Stages of your cover

    If you have paid a deposit to a developer for a new home covered by our New Homes Warranty, and the build hasn't started or the developer doesn’t complete a build due to insolvency or fraud, this section of cover will help you to recover those costs. Please refer to your policy document.

    If you do find any problems with your home during the first two years of cover for new homes, known as Defects Insurance Period (one year for Social Housing Warranty cover), it will be up to the developer to put things right.

    Make sure you keep hold of their details once you have bought your home and speak to them about the process of reporting problems.

    If you cannot come to an agreement with your developer about carrying out the repairs or they fail to carry them out, your structural warranty cover allows you to call Premier Guarantee and we will help you to get the work done as quickly as possible.
