New Build Professional Certification

Where a builder's warranty (e.g. NHBC or Zurich) is not available for the construction of a new build house, it is recommended or required by lenders that certification is provided for the construction by a qualified professional. The Professional Consultant’s Certificate is approved by all major lenders and the value and saleability of a property can be significantly adversely affected if such a certificate is not in place. The certificates are issued following inspections at various pre-determined stages throughout the build process. The frequency of the stage inspections will depend upon the requirement of the mortgage lender, although typically there are four to six inspections to completion and final certification (e.g. at foundations, at wall plate, at wind and watertight, and on completion). Our Surveyors will inspect at the various critical stages during the course of construction and will issue a final certificate upon satisfactory completion of the property, backed by the appropriate Professional Indemnity Insurance.
