The government, which only recently said there would be one Ombudsman covering the entire housing sector, has announced that there is to be a new redress champion just for New Homes.
A statement issued last evening, coinciding with comments on housing at the Conservative party conference, described the New Homes Ombudsman as “a watchdog that will champion homebuyers, protect their interests and hold developers to account.”
The statement continues: “We intend to legislate to require all new developers to belong to a new homes ombudsman. House buyers should be confident that when they purchase a new home, they get the quality of build and finish they expected.
