If you are unhappy with the standard of your new home, or the house builder is giving you the run around when you try to get them back to fix defects, please contact your local MP and tell them about it.
There are a growing number of MPs who are now becoming aware of the problems faced by all new home buyers, caused by this profit-driven industry.
Together MPs can put pressure on the government to effect the necessary change and bring in new measures such as a government-appointed
New Homes Ombudsman. and the mandatory right for buyers to inspect their new homes before they pay for them. (Legally complete)
So, if you are unhappy with quality of your new home, your housebuilder's after-sales service, or if you have other concerns about the buying process please write and tell your MP about it.
