Lasting value of a Guarantee
A Master Build Guarantee adds value to your property when you’re selling, by giving the buyer the peace of mind that they’re protected.
A Guarantee can be transferred any number of times within its 10-year life. Transferring a Guarantee does not extend the period of cover.
Request to transfer a Guarantee
To transfer a Master Build Guarantee, the new homeowner must submit a Request for Transfer form within 90 days of settlement of the property.
For a copy of the form, email: help@masterbuilder.org.nz
The form includes a declaration that the new owner has made a full inspection of the home and accepts the Guarantee’s terms and conditions.
All transfer requests are subject to our approval.
Fees
A transfer fee of $400 (including GST) applies, payable by the new homeowner.
The first time a Master Build Guarantee is transferred from a developer to a homeowner (the first occupant) is free, if the transfer application is submitted within 90 days of settlement.
For more information on Master Build Guarantees, talk with your Master Builder or one of our team.
