Ok, but that doesn't answer my question. Which council is it?Maffy52 said:
I contact the local authority Building control and they said that the 'inspection and sign off' was handled by a external organisation - NHBC (I didn't know they did that, maybe bit of a conflict of interest!?).user1977 said:Have you checked on any online building control portal that the council has?0 -
If you contact the NHBC they will send you the certificate.1

Thanks, I didn't know that.stuart45 said:Building Control don't inspect houses that have an NHBC warranty. It's not a conflict of interest. When you build a house with the NHBC, the standards are much higher than with BC.
My understanding is that NHBC still need to provide a building completion certificate to the initial purchaser of a new build property.
They should then pass this on when they sell the property. Am I correct in my thinking here?0 -
The local authority is Telford & Wrekinuser1977 said:

Contact the NHBC for a certificate. They usually send one quite quickly by email.Maffy52 said:
