Which document confirms the builder's warranty cover for the property and NHBC protection?

• A. A copy of the title register.
• B. The energy performance certificate.
• C. A building warranty from the local authority.
• D. The NHBC guarantee and insurance policy.

Answer: (D)

The fundamental idea is that warranty coverage for a new-build is shown in a formal warranty document issued by the warranty provider. For homes protected by NHBC, the official record of that cover is the NHBC guarantee together with the insured insurance policy. This document sets out what is covered (typically structural defects and specified workmanship), how long the cover lasts, and how to claim. The other papers serve different purposes: the title register proves ownership, not warranty; the energy performance certificate relates to energy efficiency; a building warranty from the local authority is not the standard NHBC protection. So the NHBC guarantee and insurance policy is the document that confirms both the builder’s warranty and the NHBC protection.
