LABC Warranty will not be able to issue a Cover Note if:

The UK Finance Logic Test (formerly known as the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) Logic Test) is failed. A failure is:

• A risk to health and safety
• A significant disruption to the occupier
• A potential Warranty Claim

We will also not be able to issue a Cover Note if:

• We have not received all completion documents uploaded to our system.
• You have not booked the final inspection.
