Hi All,
I bought a property that had fire damage. We have eared ou the property, had a structural engineer come inspect the site/walls in the building and provide drawings for a new structure.
The new structure has new joists to be replaced and new steel beams installed as well as a new roof. The only thing left from the original property is the outer shell, which needs some brick work repair according to our engineer. I.e. does not require the outer shell property to be demolished.
My lender is asking for a structural warranty. I have already tried NHBC, LABC who both mainly deal with new builds. We also tried Buildzone got back to us saying they wouldn’t do it unless we demolish the outer shell and rebuild.
Has anyone here had a similar experience and how they managed to get a structural warranty, please?
Thanks
