Mr Clive Betts:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government,
with reference to the investigation into Persimmon new build properties, which
found thousands of homes did not comply with building regulations and many of
which were bought under the Help to Buy scheme, what plans he has to ensure
that properties sold by other developers under that scheme conform to (a)
building regulations and (b) other requirements.
Esther McVey:
House builders are responsible for ensuring they build high quality homes which
are fit for purpose. Persimmon’s independent review has identified serious
failings and they will want to take immediate action to address the concerns
raised. We will also create a New Homes Ombudsman to ensure homebuyers have a
means of redress.
