Your key dates — reservation, exchange, completion and warranty
Your portal tracks the important milestones in your home-buying journey so you always know where things stand.
The milestones
- Reservation — the date you reserved your home (paid a reservation fee and committed in principle).
- Exchange — the date contracts were exchanged. From this point, the sale is legally binding.
- Completion — the date you received your keys and legal ownership transferred to you.
- Warranty start / end — most new homes come with a 2-year developer warranty and a 10-year structural warranty (e.g. NHBC Buildmark). These dates tell you how long your cover lasts.
- Defects liability period end — the period during which your developer is responsible for fixing defects identified in your home (typically 2 years from completion).
