Peace of mind built-in: the importance of solid building guarantees
Posted on January 10, 2025 in Living
The risk of going guarantee-free
Building a new home is a big decision that promises rewarding outcomes. While most homeowners enjoy a seamless process from blueprint to housewarming, unforeseen challenges can sometimes turn excitement into uncertainty.
You've probably heard the horror stories - builders going bust mid-project, leaving homeowners with half-built homes and hefty bills. Without solid building guarantees, these situations are stressful and heartbreaking.
The value of solid building guarantees
Choosing a builder involves more than just considering the design, price and timeline; it is vital to understand the guarantees they provide and the support behind those guarantees. These guarantees serve as your safety net. For instance, if your builder is unable to complete your home, the lack of a solid guarantee could mean you are responsible for any extra costs to finish the project. Therefore, it is essential to carefully review what each guarantee includes and to be aware of any potential exclusions.
