In this Conveyancing Matters chat Lorraine and Stu enjoy another chat with Noel Hunter, OBE, Chairman of the Consumer Code for Homebuilders.Since their last chat with Noel, the New Homes Ombudsman has been appointed and the New Homes Quality Code is due to be published imminently.Noel chats to Lorraine and Stu about the interaction between the new Code and the Consumer Code for Homebuilders and how they will run alongside each other for the next couple of years until the Consumer Code for Homebuilders is phased out.Noel is a charismatic and knowledgeable speaker and is committed to improving the rights of consumers, particularly when purchasing a new home.Noel reminds Lorraine and Stu that there is some very helpful information and guidance for conveyancers on the ‘resources’ section of the Consumer Code for Homebuilders website: https://consumercode.co.uk/resources/Noel also reminds us that the New Homes Quality Code may cover build quality which, in the light of events of recent years, will be an interesting and important development.  Hopefully, Noel will return to Conveyancing Matters when the new code is published!Remember, this is just a chat and our opinions, not advice!Find our podcasts on YouTube, Spotify and apple podcasts
