Title: New build garage leak
Post by: luke88edwards on November 23, 2024, 12:44:11 pm
Our new build is nearly 5 years old

We've had a leaky garage for the last 4 years last repaired January 2024, it's still leaking and even worse than ever now.

I am assuming they will still be liable for the repair and I wanted to know where we stood legally if anywhere

It's been repaired about 15 times now

Under the NHBC warranty, any defect reported within the first tow years, but not rectified, the housebuilder still remains responsible for sorting it out.

I really think, given the number of attempts to fix the leak that you should name the housebuilder and also I have doubts whether they have the ability or desire to effect a permanent solution.
