CRL is working with housebuilders to provide a higher standard for homeowners

LONDON - Feb. 28, 2017 - PRLog -- New homes warranty specialist CRL is working with housebuilders to drive forward higher standards in the marketplace for the benefit of the homeowner.

CRL is calling for more choice to be available from a wider range of warranty providers, which would lead to increased competition and improved standards.

Steve Mansour, CEO of CRL, said: "CRL has been providing housebuilders with an alternative source of construction warranties and insurance for more than five years now and, in our experience, we have found the sector be a very closed market with so many of the big developers working with one provider.

"This gives us concern as it raises many questions about the independence and credibility about many of the warranties provided.

"At CRL, we drive innovation and like to do things differently. We are working with housebuilders to ensure that the warranties sourced by CRL are of the highest standard and offer greater protection for new homebuyers. Buying a new home is typically the greatest single purchase people make, they need to be reassured that if something is structurally wrong with their property, they are covered."

CRL offer an alternative source of warranties that provide greater choice, while the process of securing a warranty is thorough, open and transparent and the company prides itself in being easy to do business with.

Mr Mansour adds: "At the same time we welcome many of the recommendations outlined in the More homes, fewer complaints report put together by the all-party parliamentary group on new build properties, in particular, the introduction of an independent ombudsman to oversee complaints about new homes.

"Greater competition in this sector with a wider range of warranty specialists operating can only be a good thing for the consumer, ultimately giving the owner of a new build home increased confidence in the validity of their warranty."
