New home ownership is the great American Dream. Manufactured Housing is helping make that dream come true especially because of its affordability and advancements in construction techniques and designs. One of the changes seen over the last several years is the awareness of and increased need for written warranties on homes of all types, including HUD-code homes. Warranties have become an essential ingredient in any new home Purchase.
MHWC is responsive to the Manufactured Housing industry and has developed a variety of programs designed specifically for these homes. The warranty documents used have evolved over the years, based on direct input and suggestions from our Manufacturer Members.
The end result is a program tailored specifically to meet the needs of HUD-Code Manufacturers.
