Do I need to get a building regulations certificate?
Yes! Once the building work on a property is completed, it is essential that you obtain a completion certificate confirming that the undertaken work complies with regulatory standards from the local authority. This should always be done before handing over overpayment to the responsible builder or tradesperson, although competent person scheme members will provide you with a certificate within eight weeks of completed work. Completion certificates cannot be issued retrospectively, so failure to obtain one at this time could lead to major difficulties if you choose to sell your home at a later date (although indemnity insurance may help to overcome this hurdle).
