An absolute joke. You will spend months phoning and writing and in the end they will take the builders side. Their 'inspectors' don't even read the case notes before they arrive on site. It's a licence for shoddy work NHBC? An absolute joke. You will spend months phoning and writing and in the end they will take the builders side.

I have pursued these useless idiots for months and got nowhere. Does any know, can anybody recommend a good solicitor who is prepared to take them on for me? Any suggestions and I will be eternally grateful I am also at loggerheads with the NHBC who are just backsliders as far as I am concerned.

You could try and argue that as no consultation / evaluation has been undertaken between the builder and the NHBC then the guidelines should be followed. The NHBC will try and claim that the builders dont have to follow the guidelines. Personally I don't think this stands up and I feel that the NHBC don't understand their own standards documents properly. If you can find anything in the building regulations, the NHBC technical requirements require that the build conforms to all building regs.... this would put you in a strong position. Good luck anyone dealing with the NHBC, no a pleasant experience.

I'm interested in hearing more about your experience with the 2005 build Bovis Homes in Witham. I'm currently looking to move into the area and on paper the Bovis homes looked ok - did you get your issues resolved? would you recomend them now. thanks paul Lionel.
