Sure is! 

 

At least you got your final visit - I didn't even get that and got asked for ridiculous things like the gas safety certificate for the boiler when guy had been out here, seen the electric boiler and even took a photo of it! Just seems to be a box ticking exercise. 

 

Yes I was amazed that he cane out 

Asked for skate  cert and fibreglass roof guarantee 

Then said Have to dash 

My inspector was a lot more thorough and kindly went round with me on visits where I was present. He told me his job was to ensure the build was sound for the warranty provider but he also wanted to see that I the client was happy with the work done by the builders.  He was a nice man. He picked up on things BC didnt and vice versa.

 

I had to provide all the certs for installations and guarantees where applicable,  they need the paperwork for the file.

doesn't matter how long they've been on site doing inspections, it will be their costs if someone makes a claim under the warranty for something they missed!

 

The inspections are the majority of the cost of these warranties. The actual insurance is with a different insurer and in my case covers £877 of a 2.5k policy. It is the insurer who would pay if there was a claim, not the seller. 

 

In any event I’d like to see evidence of a successful claim on one of these policies. 

 

Here’s mine.
