Before going ahead with land investments in UK you may opt for a Home Warranty.
A Home Warranty is a service contract that helps protect homeowners against the cost of unexpected repairs and replacements of covered major systems and appliances that break from normal usage.
A Home Warranty covers water heaters, heating systems, plumbing system, ceiling fans, central vacuum, ductwork, oven, cook top, built-in microwave, dishwasher, garbage disposal, trash compactor, electrical system, telephone & doorbell wiring.
A Home Warranty doesn't cover roof, doors & walls and the items that are not built-in. An optional home warranty may include roof, well pumps, washer & dryer, air conditioning and swimming pools & spas.
A warranty normally excludes pre-existing conditions, such as items that are not in working condition when coverage is put in place. Warranties are available through real estate companies and their agents. Many times a seller pays for and provides the coverage to the buyer as part of the transaction. You may ask for a "seller provided" warrenty when making an offer on a house. Many buyers purchase warranty for their own protection.
