Why do we need the Home Quality Mark?
The Home Quality Mark is a new rigorous and relevant standard for new homes.
Provide consumers with the tools to make the smart choice when buying or renting a new home.
Enable housebuilders to differentiate their products and to articulate the benefits of new homes.

Home - A home is more than 4 walls and a roof, it is about hearts and minds. Quality - Everybody wants quality, but doesn’t always know what it is. Mark - Provides reassurance, independence, backed by science. “Independent benchmarking of new homes is hugely important”. Cala Homes Chief Executive Alan Brown
