In today’s construction landscape, confidence is currency. For developers navigating complex builds and tight timelines, protecting long-term investment is critical—not just for themselves, but for their funders and end users. That’s why more major developers are turning to Latent Defects Insurance (LDI) cover they can rely on. At Checkmate, we’re helping deliver that certainty.
The Real Value of LDI Cover
LDI, often referred to as a structural warranty, protects against hidden structural defects that emerge after project completion. These defects—whether in foundations, walls or structural frames—can carry significant repair costs and cause disruption long after practical completion. With LDI in place, developers, investors, and eventual property owners are shielded from financial loss.
But not all LDI is created equal.
Why Trust Matters to Funders
For institutional funders and forward purchasers, LDI is more than a checkbox—it’s a reassurance that the asset will perform over time, free from avoidable issues and uninsured risks. A trusted warranty provider gives funders peace of mind that:
- The policy is robust and underwritten by credible insurers.
- The inspection process is rigorous and risk-reducing.
- The terms are clear, transparent, and built for longevity.
In uncertain economic conditions, these assurances can be the difference between deal flow and delays.
