Merks mājas Warranty
By choosing a home in one of our projects, you will enjoy a sense of security for many years after purchasing.
Merks mājas is an all-in-one developer, vendor and a guarantor, so you will have one reliable partner in the process of purchasing an apartment. If any defects are discovered after the purchase, we will rectify them ourselves.
The warranty period varies for each project and can be found in the Purchase Contract under “Quality Warranty”. On average, the warranty period is 24 months for finishes and 60 months for constructions.
If you buy an apartment or commercial premises during the construction process, the warranty period starts when the building is brought into use. If the purchase is made in a ready-built building, the warranty takes effect at the time of the purchase contract.
Defects in common areas, lifts, underground parking, playgrounds, etc. are counted as defects outside the apartment. For these defects, you need to contact the project manager.
Yes, the warranty covers all cosmetic defects according to the defect classification, such as cracks at joints in windows or doors, cracks between wall and ceiling panels. Defects or damage that occur after the owner has moved in, due to improper maintenance or conduct, are not covered under the warranty. For example, bruises on walls, scratches on parquet or laminate flooring that appeared after the owner moved in.
Yes, warranty repairs are free.
Any defects that were recorded during the warranty period but, for various reasons, were not eliminated during the period will be eliminated after the warranty period has expired.
No, such cases do not count as warranty cases. Natural deterioration of the apartment also does not count as a warranty event, e.g. changes in the colour of the patio or facade over time, deterioration of the floor surface, etc.
During the warranty period, we will carry out all necessary warranty repairs free of charge. Defects making the apartment uninhabitable will be repaired as soon as possible. In the event that defects cannot be repaired during the warranty period, they will be repaired after the warranty period has expired.
Warranty cases fall into three categories – accidental, cosmetic or functional defects. Accordingly, it will also need to be clarified whether the defect is inside or outside the apartment.

- Water supply failure without notice
- Failure of heat supply without notice

Please follow these instructions to keep the apartment in good condition for a long time.
