New Home Consumer Protection focal point for Consumer Code for New Homes
New home consumer protection is the focal point for the Consumer Code for New Homes (CCNH) which celebrated its formal approval by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI) Consumer Code Approval Scheme recently. CCNH is the only CTSI Approved Code in the new build sector which is backed by an industry collective of warranty providers. Protek Group Limited, which provides new home warranties to the house building sector, is proud to be a founding part of CCNH.
Commenting on the CCNH, Protek Director Simon Middleton said “Identifying a house builder or developer registered with the Consumer Code For New Homes is an essential consideration for consumers buying a new build home. For many, that new home purchase is one of the biggest financial commitments undertaken in life and it’s important that new home consumer protection is there throughout every step of the purchase process. With demand for new homes becoming ever more prevalent, it’s imperative that quality remains the focal point. This is why new homes that are sold with the benefit of Protek’s New Home Warranty will all have undergone a stringent program of checks and inspections to ensure that quality is maintained” Middleton continued: “Those house builders and developers registered with the code are demonstrating commitment to their customers, who will be reassured in the knowledge they will benefit from protection during the build and for many years after. CCNH aims to improve choice and promote the highest standards in consumer protection for home buyers. For this reason it is open to other warranty providers able to demonstrate excellent quality control and superior insurer security – the later being essential when insurance cover is being provided for 10 years or more. Some lending institutions and many consumers are still blissfully unaware of the dangers of relying on long term insurance protection being provided by unrated insurers.” For more information visit www.consumercodefornewhomes.com
