Every year in the UK, around 13% of new houses built are self builds, with some 20,000 self builders spending in the region of £2 billion a year on land and building costs*.
However, building your dream home either as a new build or by conversion is, perhaps, one of the most complex tasks you could undertake. But, with such substantial rewards, more and more people are taking on such a project.
Insurance is a key element of a self builder’s project which cannot be ignored. Inadequate insurance will leave self builders vulnerable to major financial loss and unnecessary stress.
Policy features include:
-Policy duration up to 24 months allowing time to deal with any delays
-Buildings and materials cover
-Public Liability up to £5m
-Employers Liability up to £10m
-Optional add-ons such as Contaminated Land Indemnity (up to £2m) and Defective Title, -Restrictive Covenants, and Critical Illness cover
Jason Hulott from www.protection-insurance.com says: "When building your own home or carrying out a major refurbishment, insurance is a vital element which must not be ignored.
"The Self-Builder Insurance is an invaluable product - not only can you get an immediate online quote, but a far greater level of cover than that offered by competitors. Its many features means that a self-build project will be protected against most eventualities, allowing someone to concentrate on the project knowing that their dream home is fully covered".
