Document copy requests
Building control records
Building control records aren't publicly available, but the owner of a property or a solicitor acting on behalf of a sale can request copies of certain records (completion certificates or approvals).
The records that we retain start from April 2010, and we're unable to sign off applications which started before 2010.
This is a chargeable service - please refer to our statutory fees for the cost.
Please note that we're unable to provide certificates issued by registered building control approvers (building control from the private sector) or commissioning certificates issued via the competent person scheme.
Frequently asked questions
What if the application hasn’t been signed off?
If the building control application hasn’t been signed off (ie showing online as 'building works started’) and the works are completed, please email us with your request along with any outstanding information to accelerate the process. Please note, an additional charge may apply for a completion inspection made three years from the date of your last inspection.
How do I view the records relating to drainage on my property?
We don't hold any drainage information - please contact your water provider for this.
