HOMEOWNERS HOME HOMEOWNERS USEFUL RESOURCES Snagging checklist Before you move in to your new home, it is important for you to inspect the property to identify any defect or damage that exists at that time. How to 'run in' your home Your home will need to get used to being lived in just like you need to get used to living in it. Here are a few things that can help you to ‘run in’ your new home. Homeowners Handbook Our homeowners handbook is a guide to ensure you settle into your new home comfortably, providing you with hints and tips on good maintenance. How to make a claim In the unfortunate position of having a problem with your new home the action you take will depend upon the section of your warranty that currently applies. Finding your new home is exciting, whether you are moving or buying a house for the first time. It's a life-changing decision, one that can sometimes be stressful. Even when you have found your new home, there is still more work to be done. Furnishing, decorating and insuring your property can cost you both time and money. At LABC Warranty, we like to make life a little easier for you with the added assurance that your home is covered by a structural warranty. This is different to your standard building and contents insurance as it provides you with cover for a wide range of structural defects that could, although rarely, occur during the first ten years after your home is completed. Insurance Product Information Documents (IPIDs) summarise what is covered by our policies, making it easier for homeowners to compare warranty providers and quickly understand the cover available.
