Hello and good day,

We moved into our new build in 03/2008 and have now noticed that the floor is sinking in some areas, creating gaps up to 10mm (0.4 inches). Since we have underfloor heating, we assume that the insulation boards are settling.

We are not sure who is responsible for this, us or the house construction company.

Regards,
Alberthafen

Hello,

according to the Building Code, you have a warranty period of 5 years, and in my opinion, this qualifies as a warranty case.
You should ask your lawyer.

Hello everyone,

Building law disputes are excluded from legal expense insurance coverage. All costs for lawyers, experts, and the court must initially be paid by you. An out-of-court settlement during an on-site meeting with an expert and the contractor is likely the wiser decision.
