Lender Requirements and New-Build Documentation: A Buyer Orientation

Why lenders ask

Lenders want certainty that the home is build-complete and insurable on known terms. That often means structural warranties and build sign-offs your solicitor checks.

What you should do

• Follow your solicitor’s requests promptly.
• Avoid assuming marketing brochures satisfy lender checks.

Not advice

Lender criteria change. Your broker or lender confirms specifics.

What to check next

Use [Property Passport UK](/search) to open the property by address or postcode, then review official context alongside anything you save as Documents for your own workflow.

How Property Passport UK helps
