We provide residential and commercial latent defects insurance.
BLP, part of the Thomas Miller Group, has been providing building defects insurance since 1999.
Building defects insurance is a compelling alternative to the 'traditional' 10 year construction warranty solutions for defects – whether we are talking about residential ‘new home warranties’ or the system of ‘collateral warranties’ for commercial property – and offers “real” insurance in place of the familiar practice of contingent remedy. So, the policy can respond first if a defect arises post completion.
BLP is also the leading resource for ‘whole life cost’ methodology in UK residential construction, and offers durability assessments to facilitate the adoption of innovative and offsite manufactured systems.
Wouldn't it be nice...
- To have a single point of reference for remedying defects?
- To do away with registration and membership fees?
- Not to provide large sums in security for long periods?
- Not to have a two-year defects liability period when someone has signed off my project and I've paid for cover?
- For my homebuyers to know that they can make a direct claim to the insurer, in the unlikely event of a structural defect?
- To do away with long delays in getting an agreed recovery for a defective build?
You do have an alternative. Contact us to find out more:
