Defects liability period
A defects liability period is the window after handover during which the developer remains responsible for putting right defects in the property.
Periods differ for general finishing work and for major structural or mechanical elements, and the specifics are set out in the contract and in law.
Identifying problems during the period rather than after it is the practical difference between a developer fixing something and an owner paying for it.
