LESA – New Home Warranty: Practical Insights for Lawyers
Unless real estate lawyers personally own a new home, most of their dealings with new home warranty issues relate to their clients’ new homes. This presentation will cover important and sometimes controversial topics, including the definition of “defect” (vs. deficiency), commencement certificates and criteria (occupancy permit vs. title transfer and actual occupancy), holdbacks, contractual obligations vs. warranty obligations, repair vs. replacement, timelines and warranty expiry dates, and common misconceptions.
In case you missed it at LESA’s 2026 Refresher, this session on new home warranty is being offered again for those who were unable to attend. Those who participated in the Refresher may find the content largely similar.
