Establish the defect’s cause and the responsible party’s obligation. A buyer’s claim against the seller differs from the developer’s relationship with its construction contractor. A handover record does not automatically exclude liability for every hidden defect.

Practical example

Water enters through the facade. The source may be a common structure, so cosmetic repairs inside the apartment will not resolve it.

What to do

Collect photographs, dates and an expert report. Notify the contractually responsible party and allow inspection. Check warranty terms, statutory remedies, how they interact and applicable time limits.
