−	~~In 2018, the All-Party Parliamentary Group~~ (~~APPG~~) ~~on Excellence in~~ the ~~Built Environment published proposals~~ for ~~a New Homes Ombudsman, which the CIOB broadly welcomed~~.	+	The New Homes Quality Board (NHQB) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the quality of new homes and customer service provided by developers. Their framework sets high standards for developers while also delivering fair outcomes for buyers who are disappointed with their purchase.

−	~~In February 2021~~, the ~~[https://www.nhqb.org.uk/~~ New Homes ~~Quality Board] (NHQB) was announced. Natalie Elphicke MP OBE was~~ the ~~first official chair~~ of the ~~Board~~, ~~after having served as the interim chair in 2020~~.	+	As part of its mission to improve industry standards, it oversees the New Homes Ombudsman Service to ensure developers fulfil the requirements of the New Homes Quality Code, and provide compensation if necessary. By championing quality new homes and better consumer outcomes, it helps to create a housebuilding sector that benefits all.

−	~~= Goals for NHQB =~~	+	Its key responsibilities are:

−	~~The NHQB is an “independent body that will champion quality~~ new homes ~~and better consumer outcomes for buyers”~~. ~~NHQB board members include representatives~~ from ~~consumer bodies, housebuilders, warranty providers,~~ the ~~finance sector~~ and ~~independents – with a constitution that ensures no one body is dominant~~.	+	* Overseeing the performance of the independent New Homes Ombudsman Service.
		+	* Provide support and information to consumers and industry.
		+	* Hold the register of developers of new build homes.
		+	* Collect fees from developers to fund the new arrangements.
		+	* Discipline and sanction poorly performing developers.
		+	* Report and publish details on industry performance.

−	~~Early actions for~~ the NHQB ~~include “consultation on -~~ and ~~introduction~~ of - a ~~comprehensive new industry code of practice~~ that will ~~place considerably more responsibility on developers to deliver~~ quality homes and better consumer outcomes ~~on all~~.”	+	Registration with the NHQB is not mandatory, although around 80% of housebuilders are registered and the number is increasing all the time. The CIOB in 2023 called on the Government to undertake a review of the NHQB to understand whether registration should become mandatory for all housebuilders.
