New homes often have defects that you may not notice until it is time to sell. The defects may be called out by the home inspector for the next buyer, and you, as the seller, may be asked to pay for the repair of these defects.

However, most builders warranty your new home and its various mechanical systems unconditionally for one year. (Items such as the foundation, roof, and structure often have a 10-year warranty.) I recommend that you have your newly-built home inspected between the 8th-10th month, from roof to foundation, to ensure all visible components/systems are in proper working order. Many defects are not noticed by the average homeowner. By presenting the inspection findings to you, you can then contact the builder to have any defects fixed, usually at no cost to you.
