Customer Charter

Code for Homebuilders

The Consumer Code came into force in April 2010 and applicable for all new homes reserved before 7^th March 2023, the Consumer Code sets out the mandatory requirements home builders must follow in terms of the marketing and selling of new homes. It also outlines the standard of after-sale care a buyer should receive.

For all new homes reserved on or after 7^th March 2023 we are a Registered Developer with the New Homes Quality Board (www.nhqb.org.uk) and comply with the New Homes Quality Code.

If you do have a complaint, we do ask you to let us know so that we may have the opportunity to resolve the issue for you and learn from it. Please refer to our Complaints Procedure.

Naturally, we go out of our way to make sure we follow the codes to the letter, but to see the codes for yourself and explore all the various elements that are outlined, you can view the Consumer Code official fourth edition here or the New Homes Quality Code here. Alternatively, if you have any questions about the Consumer Code of the New Homes Quality Code, just get in touch.
