Warranty on conservatory

newtoitall

If I bought a house that had a conservatory attached that was only 2 years old, would I be able to claim for problems on the warranty?

Does warranties transfer to the new owners?

You could claim if:

1. The warranty covers the loss/damage that has occurred;
2. The warranty is still in time, i.e for more than 2 years; and
3. The warranty is transferable (it may or may not be); and
4. The company that gave the warranty is still in business.

It depends purely on the T & Cs of the company who erected the conservatory as to whether it is transferable or not.

A copy of the order form which was given when the conservatory was built says "Our guarantees are assignable provided payment of th price has been received in full and that formal notification of such transfer including the full name of the transferee is given to COMPANY NAME along with payment of the £40 administration fee".

Does that mean if they have a written letter with the fee of £40 the warranty can be transferred?

Why not get out the warranty and have a read.

Because the only thing they have is a copy of the order invoice which has all the T&C's on the back including that comment about guarantee.

So. The vendor does not have the warranty for this un-named company, or its T & Cs.
YOU do not have the warranty for this un-named company, or its T & Cs.
But you think I (or others here), despite also not having the warranty, or even knowing the name of the company, WILL know the T & Cs?

That does suggest that for a fee of £40 the warranty can be transferred to you. But you would need to check the terms of the warranty to be sure. And you'd need to know what the warranty covered to know if it was worth paying £40 to get it transferred. How long is left on the warranty anyway?

The company is unnamed because I trying to keep it anonymous.

I have uploaded a copy of the section of T&C's which refer to the Guarantee.

I really don't understand. In your original post you ask a question.

In your post above, you answer your own question.

What do you want us to say??

Can the warranty be transferred to me by simply sending written notice and £40 fee?
