The most significant purchase you will ever make in your life is a house. It’s no surprise for future homeowners to ask the question, “do newly built houses have a warranty?”

Buyers of newly constructed houses are interested in warranties, which offer to repair or replace particular elements of a home, if necessary, within a certain time period from the time of acquisition. New house warranties are meant to provide buyers with a sense of security that any problems in their home will be repaired.

It is typical for homebuyers to confuse a house warranty with a building warranty, but it is critical to grasp the differences. They may sound similar but are not the same thing. A building warranty is provided by the home builder to a customer on new housing or renovation that covers components of the home. These include plumbing, flooring, wiring, etc. 

A home warranty, on the other hand, is very different from a builders warranty on new homes. it is a service agreement that is paid for separately. It is generally applicable to existing houses and covers replacements, upgrades, and repairs on appliances. You make the decision whether or not to purchase a home warranty.

How Long is a Typical New Home Warranty?

Most provinces and cities in Australia require builders to give a government-mandated home warranty. In most cases, the Home Warranty is valid for 6 years after the construction is finished.

How do I claim my builders’ warranty?

If you have a concern in your home that could be protected by the warranty, please contact your builder.

• Check the warranty to see if the issue is included. Pay close attention to the duration of various forms of coverage.
• Fill out the claim form that came with your coverage and submit your repair request in writing.

We also suggest keeping a record of any communication and discussions you have with the firm. It’s usually a good idea to keep track of your interactions with the builders and the warranty service.
