Re: construction law

I would think that the answer to your question would largely depend upon how your warranty reads. I am not sure how a subsequent owner could sue you for breach of contract by not honoring the warranty if you did not contract with that subsequent owner, but I do not know the answer to your question without actually looking up the answer or being able to see your warranty.

Probably not -- but it would depend on the soecific wording of the warranty and whether it was transferable.
