Who is liable to rectify domestic building defects in Owners Corporation affected buildings?

Whenever anyone buys into a new property they’re excited. However, they are not so excited to find out about building defects in their property or the building as a whole. A common mistaken belief is that the Developer of the building is liable to rectify or repair defects in the common property or your property. This position is not the case in Victoria. If there is a building defect in your property, it is generally the builder that is responsible and liable for the repair / rectification of the defect as it is the builder that did the building work as opposed to the Developer.
