Championing Quality new homes and better consumer outcomes
The new homes quality board is a non profit independent organisation that embraces the responsibility for developing new framework to oversee the build quality and improvement of customer services provided by developers of new build homes. The board’s framework objectives are to deliver consistently high standards of new home quality and service whilst implementing a better complaints handling and redress for purchasers of new build homes where current high standards are not achieved.
The Code imposes restrictions on developers, including prohibiting high-pressure selling and requiring them to protect any deposits paid by the purchaser. Additionally, the Code establishes a fair reservation agreement that encompasses a cooling-off period and specific sales contract requirements.
Under the Code, customers are allowed to appoint an accredited professional to conduct a pre-completion inspection of their new home on their behalf. The Code also specifies that a home must be considered ‘complete’, which prevents customers from moving into a new home prematurely.
Requires the developer to provide all the relevant information about their new home during the sales process to allow them to make an informed decision about their new purchase. Relevant information would include Future management and service charges, house plans and drainage layouts.
