Sure about that? It seems to be regarded as pretty useless, an
organisation funded by the builders themselves...

I would argue that the NHBC has its place, given that the mortgage lenders
seem to regard it as a necessary to ensure any defects are rectified. Don't
forget if the builder is registered, and folds, NHBC conducts repairs etc
should they become required.

I don't however assume it covers everything, I called them (NHBC) up about
the wiring, and they were quite vauge, and just referred me to the BS7671
spec as being required to be met.
