ICW Warranty Alternative – ABC+ 10 and 12 Year Structural Warranty Cover
Looking for a cost-effective alternative to an ICW 10 Year Structural Warranty? ABC+ Warranty provides competitive 10 and 12 Year Structural Warranty solutions for developers, self-builders, contractors, housing associations, property owners and commercial clients across the UK.
An ABC+ Structural Warranty could help you save money compared with a similar latent defects insurance policy from ICW Insurance Services or another warranty provider. If you have already received a genuine like-for-like quotation, speak to ABC+ before you proceed.
Our aim is simple: to provide fast, transparent and competitive structural warranty cover without unnecessary broker fees, hidden charges or avoidable delays.
A Competitive ICW Structural Warranty Alternative
Arranging structural warranty cover can sometimes feel complicated, especially when comparing different providers, policy terms, lender requirements and project timescales.
ABC+ Warranty offers a straightforward alternative for clients who need reliable cover for new builds, conversions, completed properties, mixed-use developments and commercial projects.
We provide 10 and 12 Year Structural Warranty options designed to protect against qualifying structural defects after completion. These warranties can help provide reassurance for lenders, buyers, solicitors, developers and property owners.
Why Choose ABC+ Instead of ICW?
ABC+ Warranty is not a broker. This means you deal directly with us and avoid unnecessary broker-related charges.
Unlike some warranty routes, we do not charge unnecessary:
- Registration fees
- Renewal fees
- Holding bonds
- Broker fees
Our pricing is designed to be clear and competitive from the start. If you already have a genuine structural warranty quote from ICW or another provider, ABC+ will usually aim to beat it on a like-for-like basis.
10 and 12 Year Structural Warranty Cover
ABC+ provides structural warranty cover for a wide range of property types and development projects across the UK.
Our 10 and 12 Year Structural Warranty options may be suitable for:
- New build homes
- Residential developments
- Single dwellings
- Property conversions
- Barn conversions
- Completed properties
- Mixed-use developments
- Commercial buildings
- Build-to-rent developments
- Self-build projects
- Housing association schemes
Whether your project is residential, commercial or mixed-use, ABC+ can help you understand the most suitable warranty route.
Latent Defects Insurance for Property Developments
A structural warranty is also commonly referred to as latent defects insurance. It is designed to provide cover where qualifying structural defects arise after completion due to issues such as defective design, workmanship or materials.
For many new build and conversion projects, latent defects insurance is required by mortgage lenders, solicitors, buyers or funders before a property can be sold, refinanced or legally completed.
ABC+ offers a competitive latent defects insurance alternative for clients who need professional support and fast access to documentation.
Start with a Professional Consultants Certificate and Upgrade Later
One of the key benefits of ABC+ is flexibility.
For some projects, you may be able to begin with a 6 Year Professional Consultants Certificate, also known as a PCC, CML Certificate or Architects Certificate. This certificate is accepted by many banks and building societies and may be a lower-cost starting point where a full structural warranty is not required immediately.
If a lender, buyer or solicitor later requests a 10 Year Structural Warranty, ABC+ can review the property for an upgrade to an ABC+ Structural Warranty Certificate.
This flexible upgrade route can help reduce upfront costs while still giving you the option of longer-term structural warranty cover if required.
Fast Quotes and Digital Warranty Certificates
Delays with warranty documents can hold up sales, mortgage applications, solicitor enquiries and construction timelines. ABC+ is designed to help make the process faster and more efficient.
You can request a structural warranty quote online and receive clear guidance on the information required. Once the application has been reviewed and approved, an ABC+ Warranty Certificate can often be issued quickly.
You can also access your warranty documents online, making it easier to manage your policy, reports and project information.
Apply Early for the Best Warranty Price
ABC+ can consider warranty applications at different stages of a building project, including where construction has already started or where a property is close to completion.
However, applying before works begin is usually the most cost-effective option. Early appointment allows inspections, technical checks and reports to be planned properly from the start, reducing the risk of retrospective issues and additional costs.
If your building work has already started or has been completed, ABC+ can still review your project and advise whether retrospective structural warranty cover may be available.
Structural Warranty Cover for Completed Properties
If construction has already been completed, you may still have options. ABC+ can review completed or partially completed properties and advise whether a post-completion structural warranty route may be suitable.
This can be useful where a lender, buyer or solicitor requests warranty documentation late in the transaction process.
Thorough Inspections and Survey Reports
ABC+ provides professional inspection and reporting support as part of the structural warranty process.
Where inspections are carried out on your property, you will receive access to the relevant survey reports. This helps provide transparency and gives lenders, buyers and solicitors clearer documentation throughout the process.
Our team aims to make the process efficient while still providing the technical oversight required for your warranty application.
Structural Warranty Support for Lenders, Buyers and Solicitors
Many banks, building societies and mortgage lenders require suitable warranty documentation before approving a property transaction or mortgage application.
ABC+ Certificates are accepted by many lenders, but requirements can vary depending on the lender, property type and project circumstances. Before proceeding, you should always check the relevant lender requirements and review the approved lender information available from ABC+.
Our team can provide documentation to support financial applications, solicitor enquiries and property transactions where required.
Residential and Commercial Warranty Options
ABC+ provides warranty options for both residential and commercial projects. This includes developments where residential units sit above or alongside commercial premises, such as shops, cafés, offices, restaurants, nurseries or mixed-use buildings.
Whether you are arranging cover for a single home, a commercial building or a larger development, ABC+ can help you identify a suitable warranty solution.
