10 year Platinum Seal Warranty with every new Tingdene home…

Platinum Seal logo

Who is Platinum Seal?

Platinum Seal has been providing specialist insured protection for Residential Park Homes since 2005, covering over £40million worth of Park and Leisure Homes manufactured. The Platinum Seal scheme is underwritten by Assist Insurance Company Ltd.

Why do I need a warranty?

Firstly, to ensure your home is protected against structural defects which can be expensive to repair. Without this cover it is likely that your manufacturer is only responsible for defects occurring during the first 12 months of you owning the home. Secondly, if you decide to sell your home before your warranty expires, a Platinum Seal Warranty will make your property far more attractive to buyers.

What does the warranty cover?

The Platinum Seal Warranty Scheme is the only ‘Insured’ Residential Park Home Manufacturers Structural Warranty Scheme for the Park Home Industry. Platinum Seal cover provides a similar form of cover that is more commonly associated to a conventional bricks and mortar home.

All homes covered by Platinum Seal are insured for a wide range of structural defects that could occur during the first 10 years after manufacture. Structural faults that occur during this period will be taken care of with the minimum of fuss, providing total peace of mind in the quality and durability of your new home. Platinum Seal cover is only available from selected ‘approved’ manufacturers (Tingdene included). In addition, should your manufacturer not be around to help in the future, the insurers of Platinum Seal could (subject to cover provided) fulfil the obligations of your manufacturer.

More information about the Platinum Seal cover is available from the Tingdene sales team – phone 01933 230 130.
