What homeowners ask new home builders
With what our guides tell them. Answer these in your quote, and later on your listing.
Is VAT charged on building a new home?
Building a new home is usually zero rated for VAT, so our range has no VAT (HMRC VAT Notice 708). Self builders compare your price with about £322,000 to £406,000 for a 140 m² house.
Who arranges the connections and outside works?
Water, drainage, electricity and broadband connections, and drives, landscaping and boundaries, are separate lines on the checklist homeowners use. Say which are in your price.
Who provides the warranty?
Design, surveys and warranties sit on the same checklist line as the architect and engineer, so homeowners will ask who provides each one.
What homeowners will ask you to confirm
From the checklist in our new build house guide:
- Land and planning: Plot, planning permission and conditions.
- Design: Architect, engineer, surveys and warranties.
- Build: Contractor price, specification and exclusions.
- Connections: Water, drainage, electricity, broadband.
- External works: Drives, landscaping, boundaries.
What we’ll check before new home builders appear
- Companies House, if you’re a limited company or LLP: we’ll check the company is active.
- Only if you take waste away: Waste carrier registration. The law and the registers
- Who runs the business: an ID check, or a code letter for a company’s director.
Badges you can add (not needed to appear): TrustMark and Federation of Master Builders, and insurance.
Your listing will say, for example: Checked by Estiquote on 30 October 2026:
If you’re a limited company
- Active company at Companies House
If you’re a sole trader
- Sole trader: business details checked by Estiquote
