answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2024 answer text <p>A new build warranty is issued to protect homeowners from the cost of fixing structural defects caused by faulty materials or poor workmanship during construction. Providers structure warranties acceptable to the circumstances, and it is for developers to determine whether to sell warranties or not. Mortgage providers require new build homes to be sold with a warranty for the buyer to secure a mortgage so in practice most new build homes will be sold with some form of warranty purchased by the developer with the home buyer the beneficiary of the policy. Through the Building Safety Act 2022, the Government has created a power that will allow the Secretary of State to set minimum standards for all new build warranties and penalties for those not complying. The Government is working with the sector to take these changes forward, and will provide more detail in due course.</p> answering member constituency North East Derbyshire answering member printed Lee Rowley grouped question UIN 11534 question first answered 08/02/2024 12:12:01 answering member 4652 label Biography information for Lee Rowley
