New Build Home Insurance

Insurance for newly built houses

We arrange insurance for a wide range of newly built properties, including houses and modern developments.

Whether your home is part of a larger development or a single newly built house, the aim is to ensure cover is arranged accurately based on the property’s construction, size and rebuild cost.

Buildings insurance for new build properties

Buildings insurance for new build properties protects the structure of the home, including walls, roofs, floors and permanent fixtures such as kitchens and bathrooms.

Building insurance for new build homes is separate from any structural warranty provided by the developer. While warranties may cover certain defects, they do not replace the need for full buildings insurance to protect against insured events.

When cover should start

Insurance for a new build home typically needs to start from completion, when ownership and responsibility for the property transfers to you. In many cases, mortgage lenders will require buildings insurance to be in place before funds are released.

Understanding when your cover should begin helps prevent gaps, particularly if completion dates change or are delayed.
