I would strongly recommend a cosmetic inspection or even whole home inspection within the first seven days. Make sure you get a receipt of the defects you submit to warranty. We submitted well over 100 issues we found ourselves. Wish we had hired an inspector who has more clout than we the homeowners. We had our whole home professionally inspected at 10 months finding over 60 remaining defects. After 12 months, you may lose any claim you have with the exception being systems and structure. BTW, many of our issues never were fixed properly, so warranty is not great to everyone. Good luck!
