Strategic Partners

NHBC

We understand that retirement community operators demand high-quality building design and construction to provide the best experience for their customers. We also know that investors need the assurance that their asset is protected in the event of structural defects.

With over 1.5 million homes currently covered, we are the UK’s leading provider of warranty and insurance for the new homes industry. We’ve worked with contractors and developers for over 80 years to identify and manage technical risk in developments through NHBC Standards, helping to improve construction quality and protecting their assets from major defects.

Our Retirement Living warranty and insurance policy offers comprehensive standard coverage for core protection against building or structural defects plus valuable optional benefits that protect your investment and revenue streams.

We are so much more than just an insurance provider – our industry-leading technical and inspection teams offer a proactive and supportive approach across the UK, adding real value to your project team.
