Architect's Certificate
This is not a warranty and should not be mistaken for one. It is simply a statement from the architect that the property has been built in accordance with standard and accepted building principles. You should ask your solicitor to check the architect's professional indemnity insurance to ensure you can claim if a structural defect does arise.
There is no protection in case the builder goes out of buisness during the build period and snagging defects are not covered during the first two years of ownership.
It is not advisable to buy a property without a warranty provided by the NHBC, Premier or Zurich.
