Building regulations application process

A completion certificate will be issued on satisfactory completion of the work only if:

• all the relevant inspections have been carried out, any remedial works completed and where necessary re-inspected and accepted as satisfactory
• any additional inspections requested by your surveyor during the period of construction are satisfactory
• approval has been issued on a full plans application

It is in your own interest, therefore, to ensure that you or your builder gives all the necessary notification for inspection. Completion certificates are issued free of charge for all work approved since 1992. Completion certificates are important documents and should be kept safely as solicitors/surveyors undertaking future property transactions may require the completion certificate.
