What warranties are available to cover defects in a property?
This is again dealt with contractually, but it is common in Dubai for developers to repair general defects for a one-year period. Under the Civil Code, building engineers and consultants are liable for structural defects to a building for a period of 10 years (decennial liability period). It is also proposed in the forthcoming Strata Title Law that a decennial liability period be imposed on the developer for defects in the property.
