No Building control / No Part P-the reality selling a property - Electrician Talk - Professional Electrical Contractors Forum

Thought you may like to know what happens when people don't have Part P approved contractors or bother with building control.
Then want to sell their house.

For those who do not know part p can only self certify and not other people's work.

We find ourselves talking to Building control regarding a property that hasn't either had a building notice or approved contractor for the new extension.

Previous situations we have left the home owner deal with building control and get a normalisation certificate.

It would now appear that things have changed- call from building control and we have been asked to perform a periodic inspection and provide copy to building control.

Then subject to favourable report they will issue a completion notice to wrap the mess up.

Needless to say we will be going through it with a fine tooth comb.

Mmmmm

Remember to attach Form ACL 1 [4r$e covering letter]
Explain the situation and add it as an attachment to the PIR. Just to cover youself. Also mention and refer to it in the body of the PIR. That way you have covered it. Just in case the ACL 1 gets mislaid

Cynical? Me!

Makes you wonder why we bother really

As we said before, someone else's **** nothing more than a periodic. will cover our arse big time

At the end of the day if it is unsafe it will need rectifying and if it is reasonable then it will be council to give completion certificate.

Really it's crap we could do without- work is work.

really this just proves my rant about part "p"
