10 YEAR WARRANTY FROM STAMFORD

Undertaking a new building or renovation project is a challenging time and can be immensely enjoyable or thoroughly frustrating. The team at Style Plus recognise that the renovation projects deserve the protection of a warranty just as much as a new build.

Owners of leaky buildings and others carrying out extension or renovation projects can now obtain a 10 year warranty from Stamford Insurance to cover the new works.

The warranty is transferable to a new owner, making it likely that the current owner should be able to sell the property at a more attractive price.

WHAT WE COVER UNDER OUR STANDARD 10 YEAR WARRANTY

1. Loss of Deposit due to Developer Insolvency

  • If you lose your deposit before work commences we will pay the lesser of 10% of the Contract Price or $100,000.

2. Increased Costs if Developer fails to complete

  • If the Developer fails to complete your project due to Insolvency after work has started we will contribute to any increased costs to complete your home the lesser of 10% of the Contract Price or $100,000.

3. Defects Insurance Period – 2 years

  • For the 2 years following completion your developer is responsible for rectifying defects in the property. If the developer fails to remedy defects in your home for which he is responsible during the 2 year maintenance period we will pay for another builder to carry out the works.

4. Structural Latent Defects – 8 years

  • For a further 8 years from the end of the defects period we will pay to rectify certain structural defects in your property, including weather-tightness issues.

5. Total Indemnity Period from date of Completion 10 years.

  • The Limit of Indemnity under sections 3 and 4 of the policy is the Declared Project Value as stated in the policy, adjusted for inflation in accordance with the Statistics New Zealand Residential Building Price Index.

HOW DO I OBTAIN A STAMFORD BUILDING WARRANTY FOR MY RENOVATION, RE-CLAD OR NEW BUILD

As a preferred builder for Stamford Insurance, the Style Plus | Renovations project manager will lodge an application with Stamford Insurance using a Project Notification Form (PNF), for a building warranty.

This process is undertaken at the time the building contract is signed, and before construction begins. Assuming Stamford Insurance approves the application; they will provide a quotation for the cover.
