Questions every homeowner asks.
Is a 2VP new build genuinely VAT zero-rated?
+
Yes — new residential dwellings are zero-rated under HMRC Notice 708 (section 3). This applies to the construction of a building designed as a dwelling, including associated professional and subcontract fees where they form part of a single supply. We include the zero-rating in your contract and handle any HMRC queries. Mixed-use buildings and conversions follow different rules — we advise at feasibility.
Why one company instead of three quotes?
+
Three quotes from strangers means three companies that can blame each other when something cracks. With 2VP, the team that prices your project also designs it, builds it, and signs the 10-year HomePro guarantee. One mobile number from first sketch to final snag — and the person you meet on day one is the person whose name is on the warranty on day 365.
What if 2VP can't finish my project?
+
Our contracts include a financial completion bond and a list of named partner contractors. If anything happens to 2VP, your build still completes at the agreed price. The 10-year HomePro insurance-backed guarantee follows the property — not the company.
What protects my money?
+
Stage payments are released only after our independent QA inspector signs each stage off — never on the calendar. No upfront builder payment. JCT Minor Works contract. Itemised line-by-line scope. £17m total insurance cover (Public Liability £5m, Employer's £10m, Professional Indemnity £2m, plus Contract Works All-Risk and Product Liability).
How does 2VP vet its team?
+
The same trades on every 2VP project — not an open call. Lead carpenter, electrician, plumber, plasterer, decorator: all on rolling annual contracts, all DBS-checked, all sign the 12-month workmanship warranty alongside us. Architectural design is in formal partnership with Nick Elias Architects (RIBA Silver Medal).
What's covered by the warranty?
+
Two layers. (a) 12-month workmanship warranty backed by 2VP — covers anything we've installed that fails to perform as specified, including all snagging. (b) 10-year HomePro insurance-backed structural guarantee — underwritten and enforceable directly against the underwriter even if 2VP ceased trading. Travels with the property.
How will I know what's happening on site?
+
A daily on-site report at 5pm: photos taken at 09:00 and 17:00, captions, who was on site, what was done, what's next. Sent to your WhatsApp + email. Plus a written 48-hour SLA on every M2 Manager question. Plus QA-gate sign-off photos before any stage payment moves. You'll never wonder.
What's included in the price?
+
Everything in the itemised scope: full architectural design, planning application, structural engineer, party-wall surveyor (where applicable), Building Control, scaffolding, skips, parking suspensions, welfare and a daily clean. The full scope is on the contract before you sign — line by line. The number is the number.
