The Consumer Code for Home Builders exists to make the home buying process fair and more transparent for purchasers. The Code is supported by the four main warranty providers - Checkmate, LABC Warranty, Premier Guarantee and NHBC - who between them cover 95% of new homes built in the UK. Home builders operating under these warranty schemes must comply with the Code Requirements. In the event of a dispute, The Code provides free access for consumers to an Independent Dispute Resolution Scheme, operated completely independently of the Code by the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution. The Consumer Code is approved by the CTSI Consumer Codes Approval Scheme.
