Buildings under 6 years and 3 months old are generally covered by QBCC Home Warranty Insurance. If a defect is found that may be the responsibility of the builder, it is the responsibility of the current owner to approach the builder to rectify it.
Buying a property with these kinds of defects may not be covered by QBCC insurance once identified to the purchaser or should have been known by the purchaser.
For more information please go to the QBCC website.
