PARTLY OR FULLY COMPLETED PROJECTS

We work closely with a number of professionals

involved in the build, management and sale of

properties that have gone into administration

at the part complete or complete stage of

development. We provide structural defects

insurance cover to help speed up the time to

either complete or sell the project.

DISTRESSED (INSOLVENT) PROPERTIES

Property developments which do not make it

to the completion stage due to the developer

going into administration are commonly

known as distressed or insolvent properties.

At C-R-L.com we can provide fast and afford-

able structural defects cover for this type of

property to help secure a speedy resale.

BARN CONVERSIONS

We recommend comprehensive and cost effec-

tive structural defects insurance cover to both

architects and individuals who are embarking

on barn conversion projects. We can also provide

policies for any other type of building conversion

from churches to office blocks and retail units.

MIXED USE

Properties which house both residential and

commercial premises are classed as “mixed

use”. We provide professional and comprehen-

sive cover for this type of project at any stage of

development or when they are completed.

NEW BUILD

C-R-L.com specialises in structural defects

insurance for new build residential properties.

These can cover single or multiple dwellings.

Cover starts from the date of practical comple-

tion. Our fast, efficient and cost effective service

helps builders to secure cover at short notice.

SELF BUILD

We provide cover for self build projects to

insure them against future structural defects

such as the destruction of, or physical damage

to, a load bearing element of the residential

property caused by a defect in the design, work-

manship, material or components of the struc-

ture. Cover against insolvency of the developer

cover can also be arranged to protect against a

situation such as the builder ceasing to trade

before the date of completion.

At C-R-L.com we can provide structural defects insurance for a range of different property types at different stages of development or completion.
