To help you prepare, we've developed 10 Tips for New Home Buyers which offer some ideas about how to choose a home that is right for you, where to find legal and financial advice, and what is covered under the warranty that comes with most new homes built in Ontario.

Your home’s warranty protection begins even before you move in.  As soon as you provide a down payment, you receive Deposit Protection. And if your builder delays the closing of the sale without giving you proper notice, you may have a right to compensation.

 

After moving in, you're entitled to One Year, Two Year and Seven Year warranties. Each comes with certain limits and obligations, so it's important to understand what is covered and how to make a claim.  Tarion provides a number of online resources that will help you learn more.
