Step 4 – Consumer Code / New Homes Ombudsman Service (NHOS)

Elan Homes is bound by the requirements of the Consumer Code for Home Builders. If you remain dissatisfied after completing our internal complaints procedure, you may refer your complaint to the New Homes Ombudsman Service (NHOS), an independent body set up to resolve disputes between homebuyers and developers.

Before referring a complaint to NHOS, you must:

• Allow us the opportunity to investigate and respond to your complaint; and

• Either receive our Final Response letter or allow 56 calendar days to pass since you first raised your complaint with us.

You must normally refer your complaint to NHOS within 12 months of receiving our Final Response.
