Why Inspect
Purchasers of New Homes in Ontario need to understand their roles
and responsibilities when it comes to the Statutory Warranty. This
lack of understanding often prevents homeowners from getting satisfactory
service from their builder in the event of disputes over defects and
deficiencies in workmanship. This often leads to mediation, unsatisfactory
settlement or, in the worst cases, expensive litigation.
Did You Know?
It is common for many homeowners to:
- miss deadlines for Statutory Warranty Form submissions
- not provide a comprehensive list of incomplete items
- make changes to the home that void warranty claims
- not understand the maintenance requirements that could void claims
- be unaware of major defects and deficiencies that should be reported
- be unaware of minor defects and deficiencies that can lead to major defects
Warranty coverage begins on the date of possession of your home. New home owners benefit from warranty protection against defects in work and materials. This is your only opportunity to have them repaired.
You paid for this protection; use it.
Your Statutory Warranty Forms must be submitted on time and they must be accurate.
NHI Inspectors help you correctly complete your Statutory Warranty Forms taking the guesswork out of the submission process.
