Why this is important for you…

Selling your House

When you sell your house Fosters Solicitors will ask you whether any Building Works, Change of Use or Installations have taken place at the property and if so, whether you have the planning permissions, Building Regulation approvals and Completion certificates for the works. This is so that we can respond to any enquiries raised by your buyer and confirm that any works have been done in accordance with regulations.

Buying your House

When you buy your house Fosters Solicitors will thoroughly investigate the property. Part of this will be to identify whether any works have been undertaken at the property which would require Planning Permission, Building Regulation Approval or a Compliance Certificate. This is done to ensure that you do not face any action for a breach of the regulations once you become the legal owner. It is also a requirement of any mortgage lender that these checks are done. When buying a house we would always advise that you have a Local Authority search and Survey carried out on the property to help with these investigations. If you are looking into buying or selling a property, contact our Residential Property department today.
