This final rule streamlines the home warranty requirements for FHA single-family mortgage insurance by removing the regulations that require borrowers to purchase 10-year protection plans in order to qualify for certain mortgages on newly constructed single-family homes. The builder and buyer of a new construction home will still be required to execute a Warranty of Completion of Construction.
