Why Use a Broker to Arrange Latent Defects Cover?

When you’re managing a new development, the list of responsibilities can feel endless — from securing land and funding, to coordinating design teams, planning permissions and construction. Amid all that, arranging latent defects cover (or structural warranty insurance) can easily feel like just another box to tick.

But choosing the right cover — and the right provider — is about far more than compliance. It’s about protecting your investment, your buyers, and your reputation.

It’s Not “Just a Piece of Paper”

Latent defects insurance is designed to protect against hidden structural defects that appear after completion — faults that may not be visible at handover but can cause costly damage years later.

It’s a complex market, with multiple providers, technical requirements, and cover variations. Many developers understandably default to the easiest or cheapest option — but small differences in policy wording or exclusions can make a big difference when you need to claim.

At Vista NW, we help developers cut through that complexity and secure the right cover for their project.
