Unfortunately no buyer knows what they signing. I am not sure if all
builders give the warranty book after the closing or it is just my builder
who practices this. In my case the registration for limit of liability with
false statement that the buyer received, reviewed and understood the
warranty was sign on the date of closing and the warranty book was deliver
month after the closing. The registration form also included binding
arbitration clause not just for warranty disputes but also to protect the
builder from potential unfair trade practices.
So how is this legal to obtain signature for false statements and be able
to incude binding arbitration at the same time...? If any of us will do
something like that we would end up in jail in no time. Is anybody finally
be able to hold bulders accontable for their unfair trade practices or it
is going to take years and victims to change anything!
