New Home Warranty Program
New homebuyers may be interested in taking advantage of a new home warranty program. These programs are available in most provinces. For a fee, owners may purchase a limited warranty for their home. As well, homes built under these programs are built in accordance with the National Building Code of Canada. Potential homebuyers may be interested in seeking the assistance of a professional, including a home inspector or a real estate agent. Renters and those in need of housing assistance should contact their provincial office responsible for housing.
