Building Regulations Certificate

[Deleted]

Serious question, did anyone else move in without a building regulations certificate? xx

[Luke]

I don't recall seeing one of those but i have an NHBC insurance cover document which i think implies that the building regs vert is satisfactory. I'm not sure if that helps.

Yes it's either signed off by nhbc or labc just wondering if anyone else's house hasnt been signed off and a certificate not produced xx

From what I found before we purchased our property, it has to have been inspected and signed off by NHBC or have been inspected by a body which can provide Zurich cover. This is when the CML is issued to the mortgage lender as proof that the property is fit to be occupied.

Not all contractors can provide NHBC or Zurich
cover. In the case of properties built by such
contractors, CML agree to accept a certificate in
a prescribed form (see below) signed by a
professional affiliated to at least one of a
number of prescribed professional bodies,
including CIAT, RIBA and RICS.
These professional bodies have issued their
own inspection certificates which are generally
recognised by lenders, but in some cases,
lenders and purchasers insist upon using the
CML certificate to be found at Appendix 1 of the
CML handbook (www.cml.org.uk).
