If you have purchased an uncompleted residential unit, you may not have the opportunity to inspect the property before signing any agreement or even the assignment. As soon as you have taken possession of the property after completion of the assignment, you have to:

• carefully inspect its fittings, finishes and the workmanship;
• jot down the details of all the defects and notify the developer as soon as possible.

There is usually a defect liability period of 6 months to a year for newly completed property.
