How it works

If your builder can’t complete the job (e.g. due to insolvency, death or disability), your warranty company will find another builder to finish it, while also covering any extra costs. Plus, your builders warranty will protect your deposit and cover you for any structural defects, usually for up to 10 years.

Although not compulsory here in New Zealand, being such a robust ‘safety net’, builders warranties are often demanded by banks and insurance providers when buildings are being constructed.

What’s more, your builders warranty can be transferred to the new owner, giving potential buyers greater confidence when purchasing your property.
