Helpful videos for new homeowners

Buying a new home is an exciting time, but you'll also have lots of questions. We've put together a handy selection of 'how-to' videos to help you get to know your new home.

New Homes Quality Code

We’re committed to the New Homes Quality Code, which sets best practice for house builders. The Code covers:

  • Marketing of new homes
  • Selling of new homes
  • Customer service after you’ve moved into your new home
  • Easy access to the New Homes Ombudsman Service (see below).

The Code doesn’t affect your legal rights as a Buyer. For example, claims may still be pursued through the Civil Courts.

The New Homes Ombudsman Service

The New Homes Ombudsman Service provides an Independent Dispute Resolution Scheme for properties covered by the New Homes Quality Code - your Sales Advisor will let you know if your reservation is covered by the Code. It is a free and independent service that investigates unresolved issues that arise within two years from reservation or legal completion. Before reporting an issue to the Ombudsman, you must follow the Persimmon Homes complaints procedure.

For more information about the New Homes Ombudsman Service and guidance on their online complaints portal please visit their website: www.nhos.org.uk

The Consumer Code

If you bought your home prior to 5th March 2024, you will be covered by the Consumer Code for Home Builders.

Specifically developed by the home-building industry, this Code makes the home-buying process fairer and more transparent for purchasers. How? By ensuring buyers know what levels of service to expect and are kept fully informed about their purchase and their consumer rights before, during and after they move in.

How does the Code help?

  • Ensures you’re treated fairly at all times
  • Tells you what service levels to expect
  • Gives you reliable information to aid decision-making
  • Provides a speedy, low-cost dispute resolution scheme

The Code applies to all homebuyers who have signed a reservation agreement for a new (or newly converted) home on or after the 1st April 2017 that has been built by a home builder registered with one of the home warranty bodies.
