Why choose LABC Warranty?

Backed by A-rated insurers

All of our policies are underwritten by A-rated insurers, giving you and your customer’s peace of mind.

Lender approval

Our Major Projects cover is widely accepted by the leading banks and building societies helping potential buyers obtain the mortgage they need to purchase your homes.

No. 1 for technical support

Voted No.1 for technical support in the structural warranty market in independent research conducted in 2021, you will benefit from the expertise of our risk management surveyors, working alongside your Local Authority Building Control (LABC) team.

Partnership with LABC

LABC Warranty works in partnership with Local Authority Building Control (LABC), so your development benefits from two pairs of eyes - covering building regulations and risk management.

Navigate the Gateway system with experts close to the local authorities

Among the myriad changes brought in by the Building Safety Act, the Gateway process for high-rise designs is among the leading game-changers.

Requiring the submission of designs to the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) at key intervals, the Gateway system opens the possibility of designs being rejected by a warranty provider after going through the Building Safety Regulator and an appointed Local Authority Building Control team.

Preventing a time-consuming redesign so late in the approval process is imperative to prevent designs from having to return to pre-BSR approval stages.

The LABC Warranty Early Engagement Consultancy Service is ideally placed to guide builders through the Gateway process, ensuring the greatest possible chance of producing designs that will satisfy all three stakeholders in this process while delivering quality new homes.
