New Homes Quality Code

We are a registered developer of the New Homes Quality Board (NHQB).

Below is a nationally recognised code of standards and principles which we must always adhere to during your buying process. Click here to watch our New Homes Quality Code video.

1 . FAIRNESS
Customers must be treated fairly throughout the home buying and after-sales process.

2. SAFETY
Works must be carried out and completed in accordance with all requisite Building Regulations and Requirements, as may be set out by a Building Safety Regulator or local authority, as applicable.

3. QUALITY
All works must be completed to a good quality standard in accordance with all applicable building and other standards and regulations as well as to the specification for the New Home and ensure that Legal Completion only takes place when a New Home is complete (as defined in section 2 of
the Code).

4. SERVICE
Systems, processes and training of staff must be in place to meet the Customer Service Requirements of the New Homes Quality Code and not use high-pressure selling techniques to influence a Customer’s decision to buy a New Home.

5. RESPONSIVENESS
Be clear, responsive and timely in responding to Customer issues by having in place a robust after-sales Service and effective Complaints process as required by the Code.

6. TRANSPARENCY
Provide clear and accurate information about the purchase of the New Home, including tenure and potential future committed costs such as those relating to Leasehold or Management Services.

7. INDEPENDENCE
Make sure that Customers are aware that they should appoint independent legal advisers when buying a New Home and that they have the right, as set out in the Code, to an independent Pre Completion Inspection before Legal Completion takes place.

8. INCLUSIVITY
Take steps to identify and provide appropriate support to Vulnerable Customers as well as to make the Code available to all Customers, including in appropriately accessible formats and languages.

9. SECURITY
Ensure that there are reasonable financial arrangements in place, through insurance or otherwise, to meet all obligations under the Code, including timely repayment of financial deposits when due and any financial awards made by a New Homes Ombudsman Service.

10. COMPLIANCE
Be subject to, co-operate and comply with the Requirements of the New Homes Quality Board and a New Homes Ombudsman Service.
