Housebuilders welcome new build recommendations

Ian Baker, Managing Director, Galliford Try Homes, responds to the Carsberg Review of Residential Property, which calls for developers and builders to be subject to a regulatory scheme, which will protect consumers buying new build homes.

"We welcome the proposed regulatory scheme, which will ensure enhanced standards across the housbuilding sector. As an industry we are already working towards the introduction of clearer and more robust standards to offer new home buyers further protection and redress and these latest recommendations will offer further support to an already advancing process.

"At Galliford Try Homes we pride ourselves on our excellent customer service and the comprehensive advice and after care we offer our customers. I would like to see these high standards executed across the industry as a whole and I am confident that Sir Brian Carsberg's recommendations will play an instrumental role in ensuring excellent customer service becomes an integral part of the new home buying and selling process."
