The NHQB is an independent, not-for-profit body which was established to develop a new framework to oversee reforms in the build quality of new homes and customer service provided by developers. Its objectives are to deliver a consistently high standard of new home quality and service, and to strengthen complaints handling and redress for purchasers of new build homes where these high standards are not achieved.??

An interim board was established in May 2020 to oversee preliminary plans, with representatives from across the sector including; consumer bodies, developers, providers of new home warranties, the lending industry, Homes England and independent members to tackle these issues. In January 2021, the NHQB was formed and the board members were appointed.?

Since then, significant progress has been made on proposals to put in place a New Homes Ombudsman Service and develop a new industry code of practice - the New Homes Quality Code.?
