Regulation

摘要

When defects arise in a new-build residential property, the owner's first port of call will usually be to bring a contractual claim against the developer. However, if the developer has since gone bust, there is no money to recover and no point in bringing a claim. As most contractors are well aware, even if there are no warranties in place, homeowners might still have a claim against them under the Defective Premises Act 1972 (the act).
