Veterans with Complaints
On Housing Told of Warranty
Veterans who purchased hous
es through Veterans Administra
tion guaranteed or insured loans,
and who subsequently have
found certain construction fea
tures which they consider sub
standard, are reminded by VA
that houses bought after October
1, 1954, carried a warranty for
one year that the homes meet
VA approved plans and specifi
cations.
The one-year warranty requir
ed on all houses on which VA
issued a certificate of reasonable
value after October 7, is manda
tory under the Housing Act of
1954, which says that all new
housing purchased with the aid
of VA or Federal Housing Ad
ministration financing must carry
the warranty. VA reminds vet
erans, however, that the warran
ty does not apply to existing
homes which have been occupied
more than a year.

must file “notice of substantial

specifications” with the builder

date the veteran takes title, or

whichever is the earlier. VA em
phasized that the one-year war
ranty is in addition to any other
rights and privileges a purchaser
or owner may have under any
other law or istrument. It will be
up to the purchase, VA said, to
enforce his rights under the war
ranty.
