When do you need Barn Conversion Warranty?

Barn Conversion Warranty

The Challenge with Older Buildings

What to look out for with older buildings

However, the issue with converting an older building is that it’s unlikely to have a current structural warranty, but it is likely to have some structural problems. They won’t necessarily be latent defects originating from poor construction, but the older a building is, the more wear and tear it will have endured over the years.

  • Likely to show wear and tear over decades.

  • Unlikely to have a current structural warranty.

  • Problems don’t always come from bad construction – just age and use.
