Regularisation certificate application

When is a regularisation certificate required?

Regularisation certificates are required where the work has already taken place without receiving the correct authorisation. This still applies if the work was done before you became owner of a property.

You can apply for a regularisation certificate in accordance with regulation 18 for retrospective approval of unauthorised building work from a local authority Building Control body.

As the enforcing authority for building regulations, the local authority has certain powers and responsibilities regarding such works and may take enforcement action. 

However, it may be possible for you to make a retrospective application to cover these works through a regularisation certificate.
