NHBC (National House Building Council) is the leading warranty and insurance provider and standards setter for UK house-building for new and newly converted homes. As a non-profit distributing company, it reinvests all income in achieving its primary purpose: improving quality in housebuilding to protect homeowners.

Once the applicant has accepted our terms and provided any additional information requested, we will send out the security documents for execution (such as deed of counter indemnity) and an invoice for the premium.
