Why the Guarantee Protection Indemnity Ltd Scheme?
The fundamental strength of a Guarantee Protection Indemnity Ltd guarantee is that it is issued entirely independently of the Chemical Manufacturing Company and does not rely on renewal premiums having to be paid to insurance/underwriting companies for continued cover.
Guarantee Protection Indemnity Ltd is financed by a group of venture businessman who have injected substantial funds into the company to take on any quantum of guarantee liability. Guarantee Protection Indemnity Ltd is the leading provider of Remedial Guarantees in the UK
What is covered
The guarantee provides cover on the property not the owner. If you decide to sell your property, the guarantee is transferred for a small fee to the new owner.
