Oh the irony, and what's the moral of the story,,,,,,,,,,,,, as I was hired to inspect a 3 year old home that was owned by one of the builders warranty managers.
My inspection revealed a number of warranty issues that are now beyond coverage by Tarion - including insulation issues, roofing deficiencies, venting issues, and some electrical code violations, plus a number of other difficult issues that the new home buyer will need to eventually resolve. I'm quite positive that
my inspection saved my client at least a few thousand dollars on the purchase price on the home. Well, I guess that builders warranty manager should have hired me to do a new home warranty inspection instead of losing much more money at resale. Then he could have presented the house as it should be - a new built home with no problems.
But then again, this happens all the time. People go to sell their newer home only to be presented with a number of requests from the buyers to either fix or pay for issues that the builder should have done in the first place.
The moral of the story is that my warranty inspections often save money for clients when they sell their homes and they do not need to worry that things may come up during the home inspection process that also often lower the selling price of the home.
