There are few things more frustrating than discovering defects in a recently built property (under 10 years old). Many of us purchase new properties expecting peace of mind, but unfortunately, statistics show a different picture. The frequency and cost of construction defects have nearly tripled over the past 15 years and are now all too common.

Before embarking on costly and lengthy legal procedures or deciding to cover the repairs at your own expense, alternative solutions are available.

Whether it’s a leak in your plumbing or pool, water or air-tightness issues within the building, structural cracks, or malfunctioning heating systems, windows, or doors, legal warranties can be invoked according to the nature and timeline of the defects.

While caution is required, these claims must be pursued with careful analysis, precision, and urgency.

• Who should you contact?
• What are the legal grounds?
• What deadlines apply?
• What damage can be repaired or compensated?
• Is it necessary to commission a professional investigation into the cause of the defect or damage?

If you decide to act alone, you could face legal issues and even forfeiture. Let us help – we will protect your interests.
