Great customer service

I had such a great experience with Josh! He was reassuring and responsive. My issue, which had been caused by an oversight by my conveyancer, was handled efficiently, and Josh made sure everything all my questions were answered promptly. He also provided timelines and carefully explained to my step by step the process of obtaining the final warranty certificate for my home.

A Genuinely Positive Experience

Advantage Warranty and the AHCI Structural Defects Warranty team were excellent throughout the process.

Communication was clear, prompt and professional from start to finish, and the whole team dealt with matters efficiently and with a proper sense of responsibility. In particular, Ronan managed the project very well, kept things moving, and was always helpful, knowledgeable and straightforward to deal with.

What stood out most was the team’s willingness to stay engaged, deal with issues properly and work towards the best possible outcome. That level of service makes a real difference.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Advantage Warranty and the AHCI Structural Defects Warranty team to others.

Avoid this company

ACHI firstly changed surveyors mid job, without telling me, so I was calling and leaving messages with someone who had left the company. The new surveyor had no knowkedge of my build. Despite the final visit in January, Im still awaiting the completion certificate, Khurrum keeps telling me they have all the information, and the certificate will arrive in 2 day, 3 weeks later, he is still asking for more paperwork to he signed. If feels like they are only interested in sales and nit customer service. Ive asked put in a conplaint 3 times now, still no response. If this is how they treat customers when issuing the policy, what chance is there if you ever need to claim. Avoid this company!

Reply from Advantage Home Construction Insurance

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we sincerely apologies for the experience you have described.

The issues you have raised — the change of surveyor without adequate communication, the delays in issuing your completion certificate, and the failure to respond to your complaint in a timely manner fall well below the standard of service we expect to provide. We fully understand the frustration and inconvenience this would have caused.

We hold our processes and customer service to a high standard, and it is clear that, on this occasion, we did not meet that standard. Please be assured that your feedback will be reviewed carefully internally to understand where things went wrong and to prevent a recurrence.

Whilst we understand that your case has since been resolved, I appreciate that this does not diminish the experience you had, and we want to reiterate our sincere apologies for that.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We value your feedback and are committed to learning from it.

I had an excellent experience working with Advantage Warranty. The team has been professional, responsive and genuinely committed to helping the project progress, even when challenges arose.
In particular, Mr Ronan Falsey provided outstanding support throughout the process. His professionalism, technical knowledge and proactive approach made a real difference in resolving issues and moving the project forward. I would also like to thank Derek Byrne for his assistance and professionalism during the process.
Their dedication and willingness to help truly reflect the high standards of Advantage Warranty. I would strongly recommend Advantage Warranty, especially Ronan Falsey and Derek Byrne, for their excellent service and support

Professional surveyors and excellent service

I recently had a site survey completed in one of my projects in London, Chelsea’s and I couldn’t be more impressed with the entire experience. I want to thank the surveyor who inspected the project Mr Ronan F, who was very knowledgeable, and well coordinated. I’m very happy with the level of professionalism as straight after the site visit I received the report with the findings and comments. As a contractor this is what I need at the end of the day, a company and people who are professional and don’t cause any delays to the project. Highly recommend!!

Efficient & reliable service every time

We’ve been using AHCI for several years now, and they’ve provided warranties for more than 50 of our units to date. They’re always very efficient, well priced, and make the whole process straightforward. It’s been a great partnership that gives us confidence our developments are well covered.

10 year warranty expience

We moved from our existing warranty provider to Advantage for our 10 year warranty a few years ago. They were incredibly reasonable in comparison and Derek, our account manager, has always been responsive and helpful as has our surveyor. I would definitely recommend using them again.

ACHI - Structural Warranty Review

AHCI provided a competitive quote for structural warranty on recent projects in North London and the Midlands.

Joe Deary was very helpful in setting up the policy and was on hand to advise where needed and was very responsive in answering any queries. Very quick and smooth process.

The inspectors are first class, and the aftercare and onward management of the policy has been great.

I would happily recommend the services of AHCI for structural warranty cover.

10 Years structural Warranty

We’ve been using Advantage for our 10-year structural warranties over the past couple of years on our developments in Norfolk. Our account manager, Max, is a real credit to the team — always responsive and efficient, often turning around enquiries and paperwork on the same day. As a developer, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Advantage for their excellent service and reliability.
