Building Warrant or Not?

I have returned last night from another client who was directed by a solicitor in the purchase of the flat. As it turns out the flat does not appear to have a building warrant and as such I have been asked to anticipate what is involved to get a Certificate of Comfort.

A Certificate of Comfort would allow the sale of the property but does not strictly mean that the works are in full accordance with the building control regulations.

The moral of the story here is that any development or property alterations should have the appropriate paperwork in place. This client bought the property 11 years so you can tell how time catches up with you.

Please make sure that all of your paperwork is in place.
