Mortgage lenders prefer to lend on homes that have this type of cover because they know the home will have been built to specified standards of construction. Not only that, but if the property owner decides to sell their property before the warranty expires, then the policy can be transferred to the new owner for the remainder of the term. This makes it easier for potential buyers to secure a mortgage to purchase the property.

Asbestos Management Surveys are required to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of any suspect asbestos containing materials (ACMs) in a building which could be damaged or disturbed during normal occupancy, including foreseeable maintenance and installation, and to assess their condition. Asbestos Refurbishment Surveys are required when intrusive works are planned within a building. This may be, for example, smaller alterations which include structural or layout changes right through to major refurbishment of complete buildings. Refurbishment surveys are used to locate and describe, as far as reasonably practicable, all ACMs within an area or building where refurbishment works will take place. Refurbishment surveys may also be required where more intrusive maintenance and repair work will be carried out, or for plant removal or dismantling. Asbestos Demolition Surveys are required before undertaking demolition works. The current asbestos survey guidance makes clear reference to the difference in the level of survey required for refurbishment works and for complete demolition of a building. In line with asbestos guidance, demolition is only utilised as a descriptive when the entire building is to be demolished and removed in its entirety.
