- ]& N. R3 @! _Hire your own lawyer and ask him/her to add a clause that call for monetary compensation from the builder. It is NOT a good idea to use the builder's lawyer; in case of a dispute, you will lose more than a lawyer would charge. Beware that the fine prints on the contract may not be in your favour, your own lawyer will explain to you but the builder's lawyer probably may not.
one of my buddy bought a condo unit 2 years ago, supposed to take possession like 1.5 year ago and sell it for a net of 30K. but he didn't get the condo until like last Dec, so lose 20 k now . that is how they word their contract, nothing you can do.

The builder should provide you with all warranty certificates. Remind your lawyer to make sure these are stated in the contract and track down if the builder had paid for new home warranty premium(the builder should provide a copy of proofing documents and buyer's lawyer may contact New Home Warranty to check) when he goes through the papers;when you sign up, remember to add another condition to the purchase agreement: subjected to approval by lawyer. This enable you to back off if your lawyer find something not favorable to you.
