Owner builder reports
Selling a home you built as an owner-builder? Section 137B of the Building Act 1993 requires a defects report before the sale.
When you need one
If you carried out domestic building work as an owner-builder and sell within six years and six months of completion, the contract of sale must include a defects report from a qualified inspector, along with the required domestic building insurance.
- Inspection of the dwelling and the owner-builder work
- A written defects report suitable for the contract of sale
- Fast turnaround to suit your sale timeline
Talk to your conveyancer or lawyer about the other documents your sale needs. We’ll make sure the report is ready when they need it.
