Repairs to new homes: defects
If you have moved into a new-build home with Leeds and Yorkshire Housing Association, any repairs required within the first twelve months are known as defects. Defects are corrected by the developer of your new home, rather than being reported as a 'repair'.
Normal wear and tear of the property cannot be classed as a defect.
After the 12-month period is over, Leeds and Yorkshire Housing Association will then take over responsibility for any repairs needed to your home.
