• Immediately, apply for and become an HPO Licensed Residential Builder (“LRB”) pursuant to section 14(1) of the Act; and register the New Home for coverage by home warranty insurance provided by a warranty provider pursuant to section 22(1) of the Act;
• Immediately, arrange for a LRB to enrol the New Home in a policy of home warranty insurance pursuant to section 22 of the Act;
• Provide the HPO with evidence that Hull has a registered interest in the land on which the New Home was built and confirm in writing to the HPO that Hull intends to comply with the requirements of the HPO OBA; or
• If Rosemary Wray (“Wray”) meets the eligibility requirements, Wray may apply for, and be issued, an HPO OBA for the New Home pursuant to section 20(1) of the Act and section 4.1(2) of the Regulations, and fulfil the requirements of being an owner builder.
