Questions
Opinion on Compliance questions
What is an Opinion on Compliance?
It is written certification from a suitably qualified professional that works to a property substantially comply with planning permission and the building regulations. Solicitors routinely require it to close a sale.
What if the works do not comply?
We tell you plainly what the problem is and the usual routes to resolving it, which can include remedial works, a retention application or a declaration of exemption.
How quickly can you issue it?
We inspect at the earliest date that suits and issue certification within three working days of having the information we need.
Do you need my original paperwork?
Whatever you have helps: planning grants, drawings, previous certificates. If documents are missing we can retrieve most planning records ourselves.
