Depending on availability we can be at your house tomorrow and have the paperwork issued that same day.
By comparison, Retrospective Approval of your work can take 4 months and may require additional building work, adding yet more time AND expense.
A retrospective Warrant or Local Authority Approval will cost you anything from £2,500 to £4,000.
By comparison, depending on where you are and what you've done, our cost is likely in the £750 to £1,000 range and can be completed within days of your call, often that same day.
You've not allowed for this extra cost
Time is running out
So why does No Paperwork = No Sale?
Think about all the really old houses out there with extensions and loft conversions from decades ago - NONE of those have Local Authority Approval for the work carried out. Building Regulations were only introduced in 1959. Before that people just built, with no oversight from the council and those houses sell all the time with no issues.
So, the lack of a Local Authority Approval itself will not stop your sale.
You don't actually NEED Local Authority Approval to sell your house.
Local Authority Approval assures the mortgage company that the Building Regulations were met and someone oversaw the design, assuring the mortgage company that their investment in your house is a safe one.
Mortgage lenders are very risk averse and so the lack of Approval Paperwork will stop your buyer getting a mortgage and THAT is what will stop your sale. Your house will be an unacceptable risk to them.
However, very often the person buying your house needs a mortgage.
We can provide paperwork which your buyers mortgage company will accept in lieu of the Local Authority Approval , allowing them to fund the sale of your house, with no risk to themselves.
We will even provide your solicitor, with a draft email to send to the buyer's solicitor, in case either is unfamiliar with this option.
This is where we can help.
