If a consumer is dissatisfied with the decision we have reached on their complaint, they may be able to refer their complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service ('FOS') for independent review. The FOS website, www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk, also provides data in relation to complaints they have received about NHBC.

The Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA"), the regulatory body that governs the financial services industry, sets out standards for how insurers and banks must handle customer complaints.
