How to ensure a successful final inspection with LABC Warranty

At least 48 hours before your final inspection day:

• Ensure open conditions are closed
• Ensure engineering, design, and technical reviews are complete
• Upload your completion documents to the LABC Warranty Extranet
• Book an inspection visit with a Warranty Surveyor
• Book an inspection with a Building Control inspector
• Ensure postal addresses, final sales price, and all payments have been sent to LABC Warranty

Preparing for the day of the inspection:

• Complete all outstanding work on the site
• Check all services, and any installed appliances, are in working order
• Check that the loft is properly insulated
• Ensure any groundworks around the plot are complete
• Tidy and clear all debris from the plot
• Segregate the plot from the site and make sure safe, permanent access is provided
• Ensure all certificates are uploaded
• Ensure plots in question are ready for inspection

On the day of inspection:

• Check plot if ready to be inspected
• Check site segregation
• Check all services are working and appliances connected
• Provide access to the loft space

LABC Warranty will not be able to issue a Cover Note if:

The UK Finance Logic Test (formerly known as the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) Logic Test) is failed. A failure is:

• A risk to health and safety
• A significant disruption to the occupier
• A potential Warranty Claim

We will also not be able to issue a Cover Note if:

• We have not received all completion documents uploaded to our system.
• You have not booked the final inspection.
