Documents, rights and warranties for your purchase

Information worth keeping handy

Understanding what you sign and keeping the documents helps you raise clear questions. Review the specific terms of your transaction and seek advice when you need it.

Read the full set of documents

Review the property's identification, price, payments, included items and handover terms. Check the attachments too, and clarify any differences between what was discussed and what is written before signing.

Prepare a well-documented inquiry

If you need to ask about a warranty or an issue after handover, identify the item, describe what happened and gather the relevant handover record, instructions and correspondence. Ask for clarification of the coverage that applies to the case.

Keep the contract, attachments and proposal.
Identify dates, the unit and the item in question.
Keep handover observations and correspondence.
Ask for an explanation of the applicable coverage.

Things to consider

Issues do not all have the same cause or coverage. Maintenance, later work and contractual terms may be relevant to the review. This page does not establish time limits or extend or restrict warranties.
