AU Australia property term
Defects Liability Period
Western Australia
Plain-English definition
A contract period after practical completion during which specified defects can be notified for the builder or developer to rectify.
Why this matters to a foreign buyer
The length and coverage come from the contract and do not replace statutory or consumer-law rights. Inspect promptly, keep dated evidence and notify defects using the required process.
