PROTECTION FOR HOMEBUYERS

That this House notes with concern the problems homebuyers have experienced with developers including Persimmon Homes, Jones Homes, Taylor Wimpey, Bellway and others which have left many homeowners with unsafe and uninhabitable properties; expresses concern at the inadequate response by these developers when they are made aware of these problems; supports the APPG on the built environment's recommendation for a mandatory New Homes Ombudsman; commends the response from the Department for Housing, Communities and Local Government to the call for evidence on improving the home buying and selling process; and urges the Government to implement without delay the improvements set out in its Plan of Action particularly the recommendation to improve the process of dealing with buyer complaints.
