Latent defects insurance, also known as structural defects, building guarantee or structural warranty insurance offers property owners' protection against any defects that arise in the structure of the building that were not apparent at the time of purchase or construction. Coverage is generally on a 10-year period, and insures against structural instability, defects in design, workmanship or materials used in construction, or a threat of imminent collapse. Cover is also provided for the ingress of water through the envelope of the building.
