If you are the first owner of the home
You should receive your NHBC insurance certificate and Buildmark policy booklet from your conveyancer before you move in.
If you don't receive them within 4 weeks of moving into your new home, please contact your conveyancer.
If you are not the first owner of the home
If you have bought a home that still has the benefit of Buildmark cover, your conveyancer should obtain the documents from the previous owners.
If you don't receive the documents, or you are not sure if your home is covered, please contact us.
