Victoria New Construction FAQ

What home-warranty coverage should I expect on a new Victoria infill house or townhome?

Most new homes in British Columbia must carry third-party home warranty insurance under the Homeowner Protection Act, commonly described as 2-5-10 coverage: two years on materials and labour, five years on the building envelope and ten years on structural defects. On a tight infill site in an established neighbourhood, confirm the warranty provider and what the builder is registering for the home you want.
