The Consumer Code for Home Builders applies to home buyers who, on or after 1st April 2010, reserve to buy a new or newly converted home built by a home builder under the insurance protection of one of the supporting Home Warranty bodies.
The Code consists of a set of key principles that home builders (who are registered with a supporting Home Warranty body e.g. such as the NHBC) must adopt in support of the interests of new home buyers.
