    What is the duration of a developer�s structural liability?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    According to Article (40), a developer remains liable for ten (10) years from the date of the project's completion certificate. This liability specifically covers defects in the structural parts of the property. This mandatory warranty is a key protection for buyers, ensuring they are not responsible for major engineering failures. Article (40) also specifies that any agreement made to the contrary of this ten-year rule is legally null and void.
