As a direct consequence of the country being totally fecked and the banks in freefall, the solicitors are getting a whole host of problems with banks concerning Architects’ Planning Compliance Certificates.
This new FACT SHEET ON ARCHITECTS CERTIFICATES FOR PLANNING AND BUILDING REGULATIONSshould help.
As well as solicitors, the fact sheet will benefit home buyers and sellers.
I thing the biggest problem with opinions of compliance and certification is the use of the term “substantial” compliance (and its definition or lack of it) across the board in all professions within the industry and in most cases its not to do with domestic construction.
