- The order to arrange self build insurance in: Two covers must exist before anything happens on site, and one cannot be bought late at any price. The sequence that avoids the expensive mistakes.
- Where self build cover most commonly leaves a gap: Unfixed materials, hired plant, liability limits and the completion handover. The five gaps that produce most self build claims problems.
- What a lender will require on a self build: Self build mortgages release funds in stages and lenders check cover at each one. What is required, and why the warranty is non-negotiable.

Self Build Insurance Compare is an independent introducer site operated by Ellul Solutions Ltd. We are NOT authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, and we are not an insurer or a broker. We do not advise, arrange or recommend any policy, cover or firm: we introduce you to insurance brokers by passing your details to them, and they deal with you directly. We may be paid a commission for that introduction by the firm we introduce you to, and it never changes the premium you are quoted. Nothing here is insurance, legal or financial advice, and no premium is published on this site because self build risks are rated individually on the site, construction type, value and your own history. Whether a particular cover is legally required of you, in particular employers liability, depends on your own arrangements and you should take advice on them. Check any broker or insurer on the FCA's Financial Services Register before sharing documents or paying a premium.
