  • Often, an alteration, addition or extension to a property will require a Certificate of Compliance with Planning Legislation or Building Regulations. The onus is on the Vendor of the property to arrange this if a certificate is required.
  • For the Purchaser of a property: 
    As part of our Pre-Purchase Surveys, we often identify such works for your information so as to facilitate your solicitor requesting a Certificate from the Vendor.
  • For the Vendor of a property:
    We will inspect the relevant alteration or addition and prepare a Certificate subject to compliance. Relevant advice will be given should there be a problem of non-compliance.
  • Some examples of alterations and additions that require certification are:
    • Attic Conversion
    • Any Extension
    • Conservatory
    • Garage Conversion
    • New Porch
    • New Driveway
    • Any Permanent Outhouse / Shed
