Ukraine Communities Ministry proposes 10-year quality warranty on new buildings
The Ministry for Communities, Territories and Internally Displaced Persons of Ukraine (Ministry of Communities and Territories) proposes introducing a quality guarantee of at least 10 years for new real estate immediately after it is commissioned; the initiative has already been supported by the government, the ministry's press service reported.
Ukraine's Ministry for Communities, Territories and Internally Displaced Persons has proposed a 10-year quality warranty for newly constructed buildings. The government has already endorsed the idea, which would need amendments to relevant laws. Purchasers of real estate would have the right to demand the developer rectify any defects affecting the property's usability within the warranty period.
Developers or their successors would be responsible for maintaining property quality throughout the warranty period. The proposal excludes properties built with a construction passport and certain CC1-category properties built by owners. If owners identify defects during the warranty period, they must notify the developer and provide a report from a certified specialist.
Developers have 30 days to propose solutions and 7 days for owners to agree or reject them. If owners remediate the defects themselves, developers must reimburse repair costs. This proposal was originally outlined in a government draft law but was withdrawn after a political change. Experts had suggested extending the guarantee to certain private homes and increasing the warranty period for specific building types.
