thank! good info

My house has water leaking problem since the day I get my keys from the developer.
After submit the defect list and the indon come and fix it, the problem still occurs.
What they normally do is that they just paint the water mark or ignore your complaints (until you are fetup and find 3rd party to fix the problem).

When u call the site supervisor he ignores your calls.

Even we already wrote to the developer an official letter the problem still not solved.

I just wonder when the 1st day we get our keys, do developer give us a warranty period for buiding defect or something like this?

The defect liability period is 18 or 24 months for the vacant possession. If you find any defect in your property, you should submit the defect list in writing to the developer. The developer has 30 days from the receipt of your defect list to rectify the defects. Thus it is important that your defect list to the developer should have an acknowledge receipt.

if buying subsale house, can claim for any defect?

NO

Hi Kemuning,

I read somewhere that for buying 1st hand property from developer, the defect claim is in effect be it 18/24/36 months and owner can ask the developer to
fix those defect within those warranty period.

For subsale after VP, can the remaining defect warranty (say 20 mths remaining), transfer to the 2nd hand buyer so that should any defect found by the 2nd buyer
is still covered and ask the developer to fix those defects. I'm not sure what is the procedure for this kind of scenerio.

Anybody can clarify whether this is possible ?

From what I have read in SP Setia thread seems possible.


Thanks.

possible, its apply the same to selling off ur honda insight and transfer the warranty to new owner provided the part still not void the warranty. Imagine if u want to sell off ur honda insight after driving down the road for 2 years redi, if transfer of ownership for warranty is no allowed, imagine the 5 years warranty on the IMO battery is void, then ur hybrid price will slashed to 40% left value. But Auction unit confirmed NO!

Is there document to be signed for the transferring the warranty defect to 2nd buyer?

Thanks again.

hi,

any guide on laminated flooring..?? just got my keys 2 weeks ago... plan to check on coming weekends...

Check out the section under Home Renovations and Interior Design forum

The house I bought came with laminated flooring at 2nd floor.. any common defect to check on laminated floor? Think I have to mop it first before checking for any deep scratches.. very dusty now..

Normally the supplier will have warranty on their product. You should give it a good wipe to check for dents or deep scratches, etc. These are some of the common problem if the contractor did not protect the floor after installation, etc. You should also ensure that the contractor protect the laminated flooring if they were to carry out any rectification work/ renovation work. Else the flooring could get scratch. Another common complain is the "hollowness" below the flooring. This is due to the unevenness of the cement screen flooring below the laminated flooring.

sorry to ask a stupid question ... how do you flood ur bathroom? Noob here .. have not done it b4.

just block the drain hole and leave the water tap open until flood

You need to be careful when doing that especially if you are having parquet flooring outside the bathroom. The water may damage the flooring...
So, just have enough of water to test for leakage and not cause damages...

lol. of course only bathroom. if whole floor you wanna flood them how?

If you pond the water too high in the bathroom & it happen that the water proofing is not good at the kerb between the bathroom & bedroom, the water could seep to the parquet & end of parquet...

if its a new house still under warranty who cares? just file complaint to developer. Dont think new houses having parquet anymore. If you talking about 2nd houses, usually seldom ppl check waterproofing as new owner will renovate the house.
