About the RPSA trade body I belong to
When purchasing a new build home, or indeed completing an extension or refurbishment, it's important to be aware of the potential for snagging issues. These are defects or unfinished work that may need to be addressed by the builder/ developer.
No matter how diligent the developer. It's always prudent to have a professional RPSA snagging inspection carried out to ensure any issues are identified and resolved as quickly, and with as little fuss as possible. This can save you time and money in the long run, and ensure your new home is in top condition.
​
Our experienced and professional inspectors are from construction management backgrounds and are all RPSATech and/ or RICS qualified surveyors and as such are required to undertake continuous personal training and skills development. Ensuring knowledgeable and dedicated surveyors for our customers.

About the NHBC
Established in 1936, the National House Building Council (NHBC) is the UK’s leading provider of warranties and insurance for newly built homes. Think of it as a seal of approval for quality. When a builder is registered with the NHBC, it means they’ve committed to meeting industry-leading standards in construction and design. They also undergo regular inspections throughout the building process, ensuring everything from the foundations to the final finish is up to scratch.
For homeowners, this is fantastic news. An NHBC-registered builder gives you peace of mind that your home has been built with care and attention to detail. Plus, you’re covered by the NHBC Buildmark warranty, which lasts up to 10 years. This covers any structural issues that might pop up and, for the first two years, even fixes things like plumbing or electrical problems. It’s like having an extra safety net for your biggest investment.
So, when your builder is part of the NHBC, it’s not just about ticking boxes. It’s about safeguarding your home, your family, and your future. You’re not just getting a house; you’re getting quality and reassurance built right in. It’s one less thing to worry about, leaving you to focus on enjoying your new space.
About the NHQB
The New Homes Quality Board (NHQB) is an independent organisation that’s all about raising the bar for new-build homes in the UK. It sets the standards for the New Homes Quality Code, which builders must follow to ensure their customers get the best possible experience. From the design and build of the home to how issues are handled after you’ve moved in, the NHQB is there to make sure everything is done properly and fairly.
For homeowners, this means extra protection and transparency. If your builder is registered with the NHQB, they’re committed to delivering a high-quality home and excellent customer service. The New Homes Quality Code also ensures that any concerns or problems you have are addressed quickly and effectively, giving you a clear path to resolution. It’s about putting you, the homeowner, first.
In short, the NHQB sets a gold standard for new homes, making the process of buying and owning one smoother and less stressful. Knowing your builder follows the NHQB’s strict guidelines gives you confidence that you’re getting not just a new house, but a home built with care and integrity.
