Not necessary but definitely recommended. Don't depend on Homebond for anything other than cover for serious structural defects. Even then, in my experience, don't depend on Homebond at all!
- If a house is being sold with homebond guarantee...how can that be validated? and with who?...rather than taking the EA's word for it?
Sorry - looks like it's a HB11 form judging by [broken link removed]. Lucky I wasn't depending on the Homebond website for such info! Mention it to your solicitor to make sure that s/he keeps an eye out for it.
