Who we work with

Supporting the advisers behind affordable housing schemes

Employer's agents and development consultants

You run the procurement and the contract. We help make sure the warranty requirements in the tender are realistic and that cover is registered before start on site.

Architects and design teams

A provider's technical review needs drawings, specifications and structural information. We manage the questions with you, so the design programme is not held up.

Quantity surveyors and cost consultants

An early indication of warranty cost, based on the rebuild cost, helps set a realistic budget and viability appraisal before the scheme goes to tender.

Solicitors and planning consultants

Section 106 sale agreements and development agreements often deal with warranties. We help your client check the cover will pass to the right party and every home will be certificated.

Funders and their advisers

If a loan or grant depends on warranty cover, point the borrower our way early, so the cover is in place before it is needed.

Contractors and MMC manufacturers

Building for a housing provider or council that has not sorted the warranty yet? Refer them before work starts and we will find providers comfortable with your build method.

What we can help with

Useful at every stage of a scheme

  • Early indications of warranty cost for budgets and viability appraisals
  • Which providers are likely to be acceptable to the lenders shared owners and buyers will use
  • What information providers need, so it can be built into the design and tender programme
  • Warranty questions on section 106 package deals, acquisitions and transfers between landlords
  • Options where work has already started without a warranty in place

We act as a broker on a non-advised basis. We do not give legal or technical advice, and we will always work alongside your own role on the scheme.
