Understand the warranties and guarantees that protect your investment when buying a new townhouse in Perth.
At PRA Developments, we believe buyers should have clarity, confidence, and peace of mind when purchasing a ready-made townhouse.
Townhouse Warranties
Yes. New townhouses in Perth are covered by statutory building warranties, including structural and workmanship protections, as required under Western Australian building regulations. Buyers of ready-made townhouses receive these warranties at settlement.
Buying property is a long-term investment.
Warranties ensure: Strong warranties are especially important for buyers purchasing newly completed homes.
In Western Australia, new residential properties must meet strict legal standards.
These typically include: These protections transfer to the buyer upon settlement.
Warranty exclusions
Understanding exclusions is just as important.
General wear and tear
Damage caused by misuse or neglect
Cosmetic issues identified after handover
