Expert reports before a guarantee has expired

A broken roof, blocked pipes: is the real estate still under the contractually agreed guarantee? Fortunately, the obligations of guarantee on the part of the building contractor or of the seller apply in these cases. This obligation means that he must remedy all defects on new buildings which occur during the period of guarantee at his own expense. Providing that the owner states his claims in writing before the guarantee period has expired. So far, so good.

But defects are not always as obvious as a broken roof. And, of course, only those defects can be subject to complaint which have also been recognized as defects. This is precisely the field in which the checking professionals of TÜV have specialized. They use their competence and specialist skills to check houses and flats and document all damage and defects. They thus help the owner to save costs and, in so doing, make a contribution toward the maintenance of quality and of the value of the real estate.
