We hope that you’ll enjoy every aspect of living in your new home and it will be handed over with no problems. Your home has been constructed by a number of different trades in accordance with relevant Building Control requirements. But faults can happen and sometimes there might be a minor issue that only becomes apparent once the home is occupied.
If you do need to report an issue about any aspect of your new home we have a comprehensive after-sales care service that is here to help.
If you experience an issue with your new home, you are covered by our warranty provision. This includes a two-year warranty with Avant Homes from the date of completion, followed by a further eight years of structural defects insurance cover provided by your warrant provider.
Learn more about your warranty here.
A snag is something small or a minor defect that you notice after completion. Avant Homes is responsible for addressing snags for the first 24 months of your home. When an issue is logged, we will arrange for a repair, or in the event it is a more complex issue, arrange an inspection of the problem in order to confirm the appropriate next steps.
We expect to resolve most snags within 30 days of them being reported. Where this is not possible due to materials shortage or labour availability, we will keep you updated and confirm the anticipated date for the repair as soon as we can.
To log a snagging issue or for any customer service support please contact your regional customer service department below.
