As discussed in the above post, it’s important to look at the kind of support your builder provides not just during the building process, but before and after as well. In particular, be sure to ask about the warranties they offer.
One of the biggest perks of buying a freshly built home is the knowledge that you won’t need a new roof, new windows, etc. for quite some time, but issues can come up that require attention and some capital, which is why you need to be aware of what your builder covers if that were to occur.
According to the Federal Trade Commission, many home warranties are backed by the builder and others are purchased by the builder from independent warranty companies. Some buyers even purchase an additional warranty to supplement the warranty offered by their builder.
Ask your builder for specifics on their warranty:
- What does it cover?
- How long does coverage last?
- How do they go about making the covered repairs? Read more at Compass Mortgage…
