Build Initials License For Free

The easiest, cheapest and most common way of dealing with a lack of building regulations approval is by purchasing an indemnity insurance policy. An indemnity policy will cover the new owner of the property against costs and losses as the result of the local authority carrying out enforcement action.

This can vary according to local authority fee rates and the nature of the work undertaken, but as a rule of thumb most conversion, renovation or extension work will cost around £100 to submit full plans and a further A£200-400 for inspections.

Regularisation refers to the process of certifying building works that have been carried out without Building Regulations approval.When steps have been taken to ensure the building complies with current standards, or if no such work is required, then a regularisation certificate will be issued.

An independent building control inspector is authorised by the council to sign off your building regulations and issue you with a completion certificate. The process of application is slightly different for both.

These days, you can choose to use either a local authority inspector from your local council and run through Local Authority Building Control (LABC), or an inspector from a government-approved private building inspection company.Whether you choose public or private, it pays to contact your building control body early.
