Greater Victoria New Construction FAQ

What warranty applies to new homes across Greater Victoria?

Most new homes in British Columbia must be covered by third-party home warranty insurance under the Homeowner Protection Act, with standard 2-5-10 coverage: two years on materials and labour, five years on the building envelope and ten years on the structure. Ask the builder for the warranty provider and the policy details, whether you are looking at a Langford or Colwood community or an infill home in Saanich or Victoria.
