NHBC? 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

I am also at loggerheads with the NHBC who are just backsliders as far as I am concerned. 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

Hi, if you read the standards document carefully, you will notice in the introduction that the guidelines provide best practice etc etc.

However, crucially, it also states that deviation from the guidelines is acceptable ***by prior consultation and evaluation***. 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.
