You’ve finally collected the keys to your new home, an exciting milestone! But there’s one important deadline many homeowners underestimate: your Defect Liability Period (DLP). The DLP is your opportunity to have construction defects rectified by the developer at no additional cost.
Once this period expires, however, any unresolved issues, whether they’re cracked walls, water leaks, hollow tiles, uneven finishes, or faulty fittings may become your responsibility to repair. And those repair bills can add up quickly. The biggest mistake isn’t finding defects. It’s finding them too late.
Many homeowners spend weeks planning renovations, buying furniture, or preparing to move in before arranging a professional inspection. By the time defects are discovered, valuable weeks, or even months of the DLP have already been lost. That’s why timing matters.
With Defix Inspection, professional inspectors can conduct a thorough property inspection and generate a detailed, photo-rich report immediately after the inspection is completed.
The report includes clearly documented defects, supporting photos, descriptions, and locations, making it easy to submit to your developer without unnecessary delays.
Why wait?
✅ Detect defects as early as possible
✅ Receive a professional report instantly
✅ Submit defects to your developer sooner
✅ Give your developer more time to complete rectification
✅ Maximize the protection offered by your DLP
Every day you delay is one less day available for rectification before your warranty period expires. Your DLP isn’t just a date on your Sale and Purchase Agreement—it’s valuable protection for your investment.
Arrange your inspection as soon as you collect your keys, and choose an inspector powered by Defix Inspection to ensure every defect is professionally documented before time runs out.
Don’t let the clock decide who pays for your repairs.
