PCC / Warranty recommendations

[PhilC]

Hi All,

 

Appreciate any recommendations for PCC / Warranty. We have planning and building control done, getting the financing together now.

 

Thanks.

I use architect who issues pcc

I did all the planning and building control applications (had the timber frame, steels and foundation designed), so I dont have an architect already working on the project.

Search @nodposts with pcc mentioned. On his most recent build I believe he's used a "guarantee " company who effectively just issue you a pcc i think. Not sure what happens between year 6 and 10 maybe it is a more comprehensive scheme than the architect I've used.

I have a warranty from CMLC, was lower cost than most alternatives (think @nod has the same). Can’t vouch for it because I haven’t claimed and until then, who knows if it’s any use!

Depending on the reason you're getting a warranty it might be worth looking at ones that are widely accepted by the major lenders. For our build I made sure that I got one which was widely accepted so I'd have no problems getting a mortgage (or if we needed to sell, the person who we were buying from wouldn't either).
