Buying a home is one of the biggest purchase decisions you will ever make. So, when you buy with Anwyl, your new home comes with a 10-year NHBC buildmark policy which includes deposit protection from exchange of contracts; a 2-year builder warranty directly with Anwyl which is backed by the NHBCs Resolution Service, and then 8 years of structural defects insurance cover.
Your 2 year builder warranty does not, however, cover each individual appliance within your home. When you first move in to your home, you should ensure that you register all appliances with the specified manufacturer, to ensure their warranty is activated if any problems do occur. With the majority of these, the warranty will be in place for 2 years but be sure to check to stop any unnecessary problems occurring.
The National House Building Council, commonly referred to as the NHBC, are the UK’s leading provider of warranty and insurance for new homes. They work with the house-building industry to improve the construction quality of new homes and to provide insurance protection for the homeowners that live in them. This gives you added reassurance when you buy your new home. Click here for more information.
The Buildmark policy provides protection for particular types of problems with your property, including but not limited to foundations and structure. For full details of the protection provided on your property, please refer to your policy schedule and Buildmark booklet. You will receive these from your conveyancer.
How does the Consumer Code look after our homeowners?
The Consumer Code acts as a rule book for Home Builders. We follow and adhere with their marketing, selling and aftersales care standards to ensure the best experience for those buying an Anwyl home.

The NHQB is an independent organisation who champion quality new homes and better consumer outcomes, and we’re proud to be a Registered Developer.
The New Homes Quality Code ensures that every aspect of a new home purchase — from the moment you visit our sales centre through to two years after completion of your home — is covered.
You are welcome to download the NHQC PDF, or for further information, please visit the NHQB website.
