	National House Building Council - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The National House Building Council (NHBC) was originally set up as the National House Builders Registration Council (NHBRC) in the United Kingdom in 1937.
		Under the Building Act 1984 the NHBC became an approved inspector for verifying that buildings were built in accordance to the UK's national Building Regulations.
		As a Registered Housebuilder under the voluntary scheme, houses were inspected during building, buyers were covered by a 2 year warranty against major defects, and against the insolvency of the builder.

	Council house - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Council housing was generally typified by houses with generously sized rooms (compared to the bottom end of the private sector), particularly those built in the 1970s after the Parker Morris standards were introduced.

		The Wakefield district council found itself unable to maintain its supply of council housing and transferred it all to a housing association, in 2004; this represented the second largest stock transfer in British history.
