LABC Latent Gold Commercial Buildings Defects Guarantee

LABC Latent Gold is a structural defects insurance for commercial buildings up to £15 million in value and by arrangement for buildings valued over £15 million. It is delivered by LABC via local authority building control departments in partnership with Oval Insurance Broking, with Allianz Global Corporate & Speciality (Allianz) as underwriters.

LABC Latent Gold provides a low cost way to avoid the high risks and legal complexities associated with collateral warranties.

Most commercial properties are covered - offices, hotels, restaurants, factories, warehouses, surgeries, schools, shops, sports stadiums and many more.

Developers, owners, tenants and other users/occupiers are all insured.

The combined cost of LABC Building Control and LABC Latent Gold will almost always be less than is obtainable from any other provider.
