Blp Insurance (Building Lifeplans Ltd)

BLP (Building LifePlans Ltd) provides housing warranty insurance and commercial development latent defects insurance with the vast majority of policies underwritten in the UK by Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty SE. We have been providing construction insurance since 1999. We are owned by Thomas Miller, a world class insurance services business at the forefront of the insurance industry since 1885. Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty is an AA rated global insurer. Our policies are underpinned by an independent technical appraisal aimed at minimising defects right from the design stage. Our housing warranty insurance product is a compelling alternative to the 'traditional' 10 year new home warranty solutions. Our cover has a one off cost so the builder/developer does not need to provide an annual membership fee, additional security and financial bonds. Our commercial latent defects insurance product is the most comprehensive in the market: M&E cover, Component Failure, Loss of Rent and financial limits to match the exposure. All aimed to protect the investment with a single policy from one of the world's largest insurance groups. BLP is also a leading resource for whole life cost methodology in UK residential construction, and offers durability assessments to facilitate the adoption of innovative and offsite manufactured systems; BOPAS (Buildoffsite Property Assurance Scheme) has been jointly developed by Buildoffsite, The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), Lloyd's Register and BLP, in consultation with the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) and the Building Societies Association (BSA), to provide assurance to the lending community that innovatively constructed properties against which they may be lending, will be sufficiently durable as to be readily saleable for a minimum of 60 years.
