I think they're much more expensive and I've personally seen them overly aggressive in calling out defects that aren't really there.

If you look at the way the courts explain an as is clause, the effect of such a clause is to shift the burden regarding  mistake or defect to the accepting party.

foundation work can be expensive, but when repaired properly and defects are corrected I would, sign any limited lifetime warranty, but I refuse to market that way personally....I would rather explain this to my customers why they do that instead of just being honest and say it's marketing and then break it down

My firm does evictions and foreclosures, draft closing docs, cures defects in title, probates estates, and litigates issues related to real estate.

I have not seen small condo projects because the construction defects law is not yet fixed so I think you will have a hard time finding insurance to build them.

If a sellers agent is aware of any material defect, they most certainly DO have to tell a buyer, even if the seller directs them not to disclose. 

We also wire double poled thermostats to the units as these on the base units usually become defective after some time. 

For now, the legalization has no effect on these rules and any house with pot plants will still be a latent defect and will require a remediation report and electrical inspection.I’m sure this will eventually change, but that can only happen if real estate counsel changes their current property disclosure rules.

What do you do when a large investor in your market is discovered to have not disclosed material defects and hidden those defects?

I assume it’s the latter because I could be liable to pay the entire thing if everyone else defects.
