Buying A Home

The Retailer's Warranty

A retailer may offer a warranty on a home. Ask to see the retailer's warranty in writing before buying a home. While retailer warranties vary, they typically include:

• the terms of the warranty;
• what you must do to keep the warranty in effect;
• what you can reasonably expect from the retailer; and
• that the home has been installed according to manufacturer installation instructions and local regulations.

Retailer warranties do not cover problems that arise from:

• owner negligence;
• failure by the owner to provide notice for service; and
• unauthorized repairs.
