Building a new home can be one of the most exciting times of one’s life. However, it is not uncommon for builders to fail to meet agreed standards or contractual obligations. With new homes being built across Australia, particularly in NSW, builder conduct and performance are regulated by the Homes and Building Act (NSW). This Act provides relief to homeowners and protects them from builder negligence.
One key protection under the Act is the clause on statutory warranties, which requires builders to fix any major defects for up to six years.
If you are a homeowner concerned about your builder’s work, seeking legal advice at the right time can help you avoid significant financial losses.
