Re: Builder's Structural Guarantee - Do You Understand it? 14Dec 23, 2009 1:12 pm Found something interesting - quote from a publically available doco from Dept of FT NSW: "The subsequent buyers of any property where residential building work was carried out by a contract builder, a ‘spec’ builder, an owner-builder or a developer, are entitled to the benefit of the 7-year statutory warranties applicable to the work." Also: "Under home warranty insurance, a home owner must take action (eg. initiate dispute resolution by lodging a complaint with NSW Fair Trading) to try to have the builder finish any incomplete work and rectify any defective building work. Where a home owner does not take action to enforce a statutory warranty, an insurer may reduce its liability (or the amount paid under a claim) to the extent that the insurers interests have been prejudiced as a result of the home owner not trying to have the builder complete or repair the work." You can be the judge of the rights that home owners have and where the final responsibility ****** for building defects. Owners have the freedom to choose if they are willing to make a complaint to the DoFT.
