NHBC Anmeldelser 

NHBC areca corrupt organisation and the FCA needs to shut them down IMMEDIATELY!
They are rude, useless and incompetent. Even if the build has not been built to required building regulations standard, they refuse the claims.

I URGE EVERYONE MAKES A COMPLAINT AGAINST THEM, TAKE THE COMPLAINT TO THE FINANCIAL OMBUDSMAN SERVICE.

Complaints are reported to the FCA.
Then they might take notice how corrupt they are and take action.

Corrupt NHBC ..They need to be shut immediately..Claims team are sitting to decline claims coming through ..Horrible ..FCA need to investigate them and stop selling new build homes are covered with NHBC warranty..

Don’t believe NHBC protect homeowners. Even water ingress from my front door is so obviously defect, The claim investigator Mr G Locke determine there is no fault on the builder. Horrible !
Only one reason, Both the builder and the Claims investigator have already communicated before attend the meeting. Shamed on HNBC

My experience with NHBC has been incredibly frustrating and has left me questioning what purpose this institution actually serves. I sent dozens of emails describing the trauma my family and I are going through due to the loud noises and vibrations coming from the roof of our building during windy weather. It’s blatantly obvious that there is a major issue with the roof, especially since the building is new and still under warranty.

After a long period of waiting and stress, they finally decided to send a “specialist” to inspect the issue. To our shock, the conclusion was that “everything is fine” and that they can’t do anything about it at this moment. What was even more disturbing was hearing that the only solution would be to wait until the roof is blown off by the wind or, even worse, collapses on me and my family. That was their final response, and the case was closed.

How is it possible that an institution that is supposed to ensure the quality and safety of buildings can have such an indifferent attitude towards such an obvious and dangerous problem? I genuinely have to ask: What is the role of NHBC if they can’t take preventive action to avoid a potential disaster?

If you are considering relying on NHBC for your home warranty, I strongly advise you to think twice. In my case, their help was nonexistent when I truly needed it.

Bunch of scumbags….
Received the following message
Although the damage was caused by a defect, the cost of repairs would
not exceed the minimum claim value. Therefore, this is not covered by
Section 3 of the Buildmark policy.
I have determined the cost of repairs based on the quote provided by
UKDP.
Builder willing to
carry out repairs
Next steps We recommend that the homeowner arranges repairs as soon as
possible to avoid or reduce the severity of any future damage.
If repairs are not carried out and further damage occurs, we won’t accept
a future claim, even if the cost of repairs exceeds the minimum claim
value. This is because reasonable steps to minimise further loss or
damage would not have been taken.
It’s a joke Claims Investigator @ NHBC
Going to take this to the papers and Martin Lewis

This organisation is totally pointless. Their warranty is worthless, they have no clue and they are in the pocket of the builders.. Never rely on these clowns as you will be disappointed. No wonder they don't even look at this site given their rating!

These people are ruining the building industry,clueless on every level..
I’ve more knowledge in my foot than these clowns..
Destroying building sites on a daily basis!

A team full of non-knowledgeable egotists who abuse their power on the hard working subcontractors, driving labourers out of the industry. They only exist to make as much money out of the housing industry as they can. Some of their employees flag items on housing sites that have nothing wrong with them, with their mannerisms quite clearly showing they only do it as it they get a kick out of power and bullying the hardworking people that are the backbone of new builds.
There are MUCH better methods to ensuring quality control; NHBC the recurring headache of creating problems, not fixing them.

Pick and chose when their own policies apply. An actually useless organisation funded by the builders.

NHBC = A way dodgy new build firms fast track you into their inferior builds. I will never buy a new build again. Compensation is offered at the lowest possible level. If they had ethics and morals they would refuse to cover certain builders houses to ensure builders meet the correct standards before their victims move in. I followed up claim and their email no longer works (cant even be bothered to forward their claims email) it shows how much they care. Says a lot they haven't claimed their profile. (very angry as water is coming into the bedrooms via the shoddy roof yet again - built by cowboys but dont worry the house has an NHBC warranty yey !

External wall cracks reported it to NHBC they blamed sun and shrinkage.

The policy you have been sold are a joke as they will do anything to avoid assisting

I had hoped that NHBC would fulfill its role as a mediator and protector of homeowners’ rights, but my experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. Over the past six months, I have provided NHBC with every document, photo, and video they requested, followed up tirelessly with the Property Managing company (RMG) and the builders (Miller Homes), and cooperated fully at every stage.

The result? Nothing. NHBC deferred responsibility, claimed their hands were tied by uncooperative third parties, and ultimately advised me to seek legal action myself. This advice came after months of back-and-forth communication, during which I repeatedly asked NHBC to intervene meaningfully.

Homeowners rely on NHBC to hold builders and managing agents accountable for defects. Instead, I was left to navigate the process alone, with NHBC offering little more than polite emails and vague reassurances.

If you’re a homeowner expecting NHBC to fight for you, prepare for disappointment. This organization is ineffective, toothless, and ultimately a waste of time.

Their warranty is not worth the paper it's printed on.
They are funded by the building companies they are supposed to be protecting us from. So you know whose side they are going to take.
We need a new build ombudsman urgently. Have met with my new labour MP Jonothan Hinder who has done nothing.

NHBC are not impartial and will support the house builders decisions all the way .
Absolutely useless in resolving glaring manufacturing problems and again support the house builders decisions from start to finish
The NHBC thoroughly deserved all the bad reviews they receive and obviously ignore .
Is it the house builders who pay the NHBCs wages ? I would think so.

Diabolical outfit of a company. Clearly backing the building company’s that line their pockets. The whole system is corrupt. I would advise anyone purchasing a home not to buy a new build especially if your insurance policy after is with the NHBC. Their tolerance measurements and what they class as a quality product are mind blowing! I had an investigator come to my home who was the most unprofessional person I have met in my life, it is clear when they arrive that they are all for the builder. They have already made their mind up before they even inspect the property. When you raise a formal complaint which is meant to be “impartial” that department also back the investigators . Corruption at the highest level .

Their warranty is not worth the paper it's printed on. Had a render issue and someone must of caught it before I purchased property under communal car entrance under my property. They said they're not liable wtf. And I don't even own a vehicle. I brought this property because it had two years left and can't afford to do this due to sick health and that means I'm on a limited budget

NHBC will not accept a claim of breach of building regulations under my warranty.

I went to the financial onbudsman who did absolutely nothing and was in cohoots with the NHBC.

This was evidenced by NHBC telling me the name of the financial ombudsman who handled the case.

Alleged fraud and am considering legal action

NHBC seem to work to a system of sub-standards in assessing the current poor levels of building design and construction. Seriously the body is rubber stamping works that people would have been sacked for not too many years ago. Which questions whether their warranty is credible and fit for purpose.
Having approved a building design which has a significant flaw. Their decision no more than rubber stamped the flawed design and construction of the builder. Rather than reviewing their own building control decision in approving the flawed design?
No help there then!

Labour and material prices from 2019/2020

If your claim is accepted then you will be concerned to find out NHBC still use hourly and material charges from 4 years ago, with construction seeing some of the highest inflation in the past few years you will still be out of pocket. Another example of NHBC being completely out of touch with it's own industry.

Most pointless company on earth! They are all affialiated with the builders anyway! Even when we have water coming into our house, wonky porch roof, multiple leaks, water in the electricity box- they won’t do anything as it’s not worth however many thousands of pounds yet! They ve agreed that over time it will get a lot worse and then cost tens of thousands of pounds but rather than fix it now they re leaving it to hopefully go wrong outside the warranty period! Absolute waste of time and not even worth the paper it’s written on to be honest!
I have also never dealt with such rude, arrogant, nasty and patronising people as those at the NHBC! Being accused to my face of lying, saying there’s nothing they can do to help even before they actually look at any of the problems! Just had the most rude, vile, impolite nasty little man out to inspect and he actually didn’t even come inside the house- already made up his mind before he even got here!
