FAQ

What is CML Approval?

CML (Council of Mortgage Lenders): The CML was indeed an industry body that represented mortgage lenders in the UK. It played a significant role in shaping mortgage policies and practices. In 2017, the CML merged with other financial organisations to form UK Finance, which now represents a broader spectrum of financial services.

What is a defects period?

The defects period, also known as the rectification period, refers to the initial timeframe in a structural warranty where the builder is responsible for fixing most defects in a new build property. The defects period typically lasts for one to two years from the practical completion of the construction. This period allows time for any potential issues to manifest after the initial build is finished.

How long does it typically take to get a building warranty approved?

The turnaround time for approval can vary based on the project complexity and the warranty provider. However, it usually takes 2-4 weeks for an initial decision.

There are several advantages to using a broker:

• Expertise: Brokers have in-depth knowledge of the building warranty market and can help you compare different options.
